Classe Audio SSP-800/CT-SSP Manual De Usuario

Unpacking and Placement

We have taken all precautions, and made every effort to make the SSP simple

and straightforward to install and use. Still, we recommend that you take

a few minutes to review this manual. Even if you are having the processor

professionally installed, you will want to know how to efficiently operate it to its

potential.

The SSP menu system includes features that provide you with a great deal

of fine-tuning. Still, we have no way to evaluate outside variables such as the

acoustical characteristics of your listening space and the associated equipment

of your home theater system. Therefore, it is up to you to make the final audio

adjustments for the optimum performance of your system.

For this reason, we strongly encourage you to have your processor

installed and calibrated by your dealer. The experience, training, and

specialized equipment they have can make a profound difference in

the final performance of your system.

unpacking your SSP

Carefully unpack the SSP-800/CT-SSP Surround Sound Processor according

to the supplied instruction sheet. Do not forget to remove all accessories from the

carton.

Important!

Keep all packing materials. Transporting the SSP without using

the packaging specifically designed for it may result in damage

that is not covered under the warranty.

SSP-800 placement

considerations

Before installing your SSP-800 into the system, be sure to read the following

placement suggestions.

• Do not place the SSP-800 directly on the top surface of a

conventional power amplifier or any other heat source. Also keep the

processor out of direct sunlight.

• Place the SSP-800 so that the IR window on the front panel is clearly

visible and not blocked.

• Position the SSP-800 in a central and convenient location for both

visibility and use. The processor is the hub for all other component

connections and generally your primary interaction point. In addition,

by placing the processor close to the other system components, you’re

minimizing the cable lengths and hence reducing the amount of noise

that’s introduced into the system through the cabling.

• Leave adequate clearance behind the SSP-800 for the AC cord and

connecting cables. We suggest six inches (15 cm) of free space to allow

cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
