Step 3
Connect source components to the CP-800 rear panel.
If necessary, refer to the Rear Panel section in this manual for a detailed
description of each connector found on the rear panel. Your local Classé dealer
can also provide useful suggestions for what source components you should add
to your system and guidance in setting them up.
Make sure you keep a detailed record of the rear panel
connectors that you used while connecting the source
components!
You'll need to know what connector(s) each source is attached to when you enter
the setup menus. An Installation Worksheet is included at the end of this manual
to assist you.
NOTE: In the CP-800 default settings, sixteen rear panel inputs
are associated with corresponding source selections within the
Source Setup menu. Since most users will have fewer sources
connected, the Source Selection page(s) can be simplified by
unchecking the Enable Source box for each unused input. Doing so
removes the corresponding Source button from the Source Selection
page. See the Menu System section for details.
Step 4
Connect the power amplifier(s) to the CP-800 rear panel.
Verify that the power amplifier(s) is plugged in but powered
OFF before connecting to the CP-800!
We recommend using high quality cables with XLR connectors.
NOTE: These pin assignments are consistent with the standards
adopted by the Audio Engineering Society. Refer to the operating
manuals of your balanced-input power amplifiers to verify that the
pin assignments of their input connectors correspond to the CP-
800. If you are using Classé amplifiers, this note does not apply.
If needed, the pin assignments of the XLR-type male output
connectors are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
