14 IR Input
Use the IR input when the front panel IR window does not have a clear
line-of-sight with the remote control, for instance, when the SSP-800 is
installed in a cabinet or closet. Attach this input to an infrared repeater
system to route signals from the remote control to the SSP-800 via a mono
mini-jack (3.5mm phono).
Th e list of available IR command codes can also be used in macros for
sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the
SSP-800 in the larger context of the complete system.
15 IR Output
Use the IR output to pass IR commands from an external IR transmitter
through the SSP-800 to another component, when necessary. Th
e output
uses a mono mini-jack (3.5mm phono) with the same properties as the
diagram in the previous section.
16 Trigger Outputs
Th e SSP-800 supports two trigger outputs, with mono mini-jacks (3.5mm
phono) labeled OUT1 and OUT2. Each trigger outputs a 12V DC signal
at 100mA and each can be controlled individually. Use these outputs to
control other system components such as amplifi ers, screens, and window
blinds. Refer to the Triggers description in the Menu System section for
more details.
17 USB Port
Th e USB port is for downloading future system software updates. Th e
latest system software is posted on the Classé website (www.classeaudio.com)
and may be downloaded/installed by you or your Classé dealer simply
following the step-by-step instructions.
18 RS-232 Port
Th e primary purpose of the RS-232 port is to support the use of external
commands to allow remote control of the SSP-800 by such systems as
AMX
® and Creston TM . For more information about these systems, contact
your Classé dealer.
Th e RS-232 port can also be used to download the operating software for
the SSP-800, when updates are released. As in the case of the USB, the
latest system software is posted on the Classé website (www.classeaudio.com)
and may be downloaded/installed by you or your Classé dealer simply
following the step-by-step instructions.
NOTE: Th e RS-232 connector is inactive when a USB device is
connected.
