11 DC Trigger Input and Output
Many audio/video components can supply a DC control voltage to associated
equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé preamplifier can take
advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched between operate and standby
automatically, usually in concert with the A/V preamp itself.
The 1/8th-inch mini mono-jack Trigger In provides for remote-controlled turn-
on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the preamplifier.
Two 1/8th-inch mini mono-jacks provide individually controllable DC trigger
outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as described in The
Menu System. For example, your dealer can program Trigger Out1 to toggle your
Classé power amplifier between operate and standby with your CP-500.
The remote trigger input will respond to the presence of 5–12VDC, with tip
polarity as shown below:
Similarly, the trigger outputs will create a 12VDC signal that can source up to
100mA of current.
12 AC Mains Power Switch
The main power switch for the CP-500 is located near the middle of the rear
panel, just above receptacle for the power cord.
Switching the unit on puts it in standby mode. The preamplifier should be in
standby before being switched off.
Danger! Potentially dangerous voltages and current capabilities exist within
your preamplifier, even when disconnected from AC mains. Do not
attempt to open any portion of the preamplifier's cabinet. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside your preamplifier. All service of this
product must be referred to a qualified authorized Classé dealer or
distributor.
13 AC Mains Input
An IEC standard power cord (supplied) is used with the CP-500. Plug the cord
into the IEC receptacle provided, and the other end into a suitable wall outlet.
