Digital Outputs
The CDP-300 has three digital outputs, all of which carry the same
information. You may use whichever connection you prefer, consistent
with the available connections on your A/V preamplifier/processor. Only
one of the three connections is needed.

coaxial digital output
The coaxial digital output provides a digital audio signal via a 75Ω coaxial
cable equipped with RCA-type connectors. Connect this output to a
corresponding coaxial digital input on your preamplifier/processor.

AES/EBU digital output
The AES/EBU output provides a digital audio signal via a 110Ω balanced
cable equipped with XLR-type connectors. Connect this output to a
corresponding AES/EBU digital input on your preamplifier/processor.

optical digital output
The optical digital output provides a digital audio signal via a standard
EIAJ (“Toslink™”) optical cable. Connect this output to a corresponding
optical digital input on your preamplifier/processor.

-inch mono mini-jacks in order to
support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today.
Infrared commands exist (for example) for toggling the player between
operate and standby, in addition to discrete command codes for either
operate or standby. These codes may be used in “macros” for sophisticated
remote control systems, facilitating the control of the player in the larger
context of a complete system.

The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex
macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this
capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with
your authorized Classé dealer.

Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and
output of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. They are used
with standard IR receivers, distribution amplifiers, and emitters (available
from your dealer) to translate the remote’s IR signal to an electrical signal
and vice versa. The big advantages here include being able to easily route
the signals anywhere they might need to go and the reliability of a solid
electrical connection.

Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you
usually must control many products, your player includes both an IR input
(for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass along the
same signal to the next product). This allows you to “daisy chain” your
control wires from one product to the next.
