Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your player Carefully unpack your DVD player according to the supplied instructions, and 
remove all accessories from the carton.
 
Important! 
Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé 
product. Shipping your new component in anything other than its 
purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is 
not covered by the warranty.
placement The CDP-300 has been designed to operate optimally on any stable and level 
surface. Incorporating vibration damping within the CDP-300’s feet and CD/
DVD Drive Assembly, a high level of isolation from external disturbances is 
incorporated.
As with any digital component, it is best to place the CDP-300 somewhat 
apart from your most sensitive analog electronics, particularly turntables and 
preamplifiers. Generally, placing it on its own shelf should suffice.
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables 
must be left behind the CDP-300. We suggest leaving eight inches (20 
cm) of free space behind your DVD player to allow all cables sufficient 
room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a 
power amplifier (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé DVD player generates a certain amount of heat in the course of 
normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and three 
inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid 
placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and 
custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed 
rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more 
information.
