1.1  Unpacking the SSP-30 MKII 
 
Your Classé SSP-30 MKII is packed in high-density foam inside a special cardboard container.  To remove 
the unit, carefully open and spread the Top box flaps.  (There are heavy-duty staples under each end of the 
lengthwise tape.) Remove the top foam piece(s) and then carefully remove the SSP-30 MKII itself.  Be 
Careful with it while it is still covered in the protective plastic, insuring that you do not rest it on its front or 
rear, as possible damage to knobs and connectors can occur. Put it down carefully on a flat, soft surface. 
Take it out of the heavy plastic bag and place the SSP-30 MKII on a sturdy surface.  Carefully inspect it and 
report any concealed damage to your dealer immediately. 
 
In addition, look for the following accessories: 
1)  The Owner’s Manual (This one) 
2)  One detachable AC power cord. 
3)  One remote control handset (with two AAA batteries). 
 
We strongly recommend that you save the shipping carton and foam inserts.  The REQUIRED Replacements 
are expensive to purchase. The packaging was designed to protect the SSP-30 MKII under almost all 
circumstances and will be very useful in protecting the valuable electronic instrument if you move or need to 
ship the unit for any reason. 
 
1.2 Optimal 
Placement 
 
Carefully locate the SSP-30 MKII.  Follow the safety precautions in this manual regarding exposure to heat 
and moisture.  
 
Stable, high-strength shelving or equipment racks specifically designed for audio/video components are 
best.    
 
Place the SSP-30 MKII close enough to other components to allow convenient connection.  This is especially 
true for source components (CD player, DVD player…) where shorter cable runs are best.  However, we do 
not recommend closely stacking the SSP-30 MKII with other components, especially tuners, as they may be 
affected by radio-frequency emissions from the SSP-30 MKII’s microprocessor.  
 
Allow at least four inches of free space behind the SSP-30 MKII to accommodate interconnect cables, power 
cords, etc.  Four inches of unobstructed free space above the SSP-30 MKII’s chassis cover will allow 
sufficient air circulation to dissipate the small amount of heat.   
 
Isolate power amplifiers as much as possible to avoid the magnetic fields often generated by their large 
power-supply transformers.  The SSP-30 MKII’s high current output stage is virtually immune to problems 
sometimes encountered when the power amplifiers are far away at the end of long cable runs.  
 
We do not recommend placing the processor near power amplifiers since they produce heat.  
 
 
 
 
1.3 Ventilation 
 
CAUTION: Ventilation is very important. We do not recommend attempting to operate the SSP-30 MKII if 
the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (100°F). There are components inside which produce heat. If there 
is insufficient ventilation around the chassis the processors will overheat and may act erratically until allowed 
to cool. Any cabinet should have adequate airflow to allow warm air to leave and cooler room air to enter. 
Positive Ventilation is required in some installations due to the heat generated by the associated electronics.
