6 DC Trigger Input and Output
Many audio/video preamplifiers can supply a DC control voltage to
associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé
amplifier can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched
between operate and standby automatically, perhaps in concert with the
A/V preamp itself.
Two 1 /
8th
-inch mini mono-jacks provide this remote-controlled turn-on
(that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the amplifier. These jacks
provide a simple pass-through of the control voltage from one to the other,
allowing you to “daisy-chain” a series of amplifiers quite easily.
The remote trigger will be operated by the presence of 5–12 Volts DC,
with tip polarity as shown below:
7 RS-232 Control Port
This DB-9 connector has two purposes:
• downloading new operating software into your amplifier (should
new features ever be added, for example)
• for external control of your amplifier by systems such as
i-Command ™ , AMX ® and Crestron ™
For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home
automation systems.
8 AC Mains Input
An IEC standard power cord is used with the CA-5100. Plug the cord into
the IEC receptacle on the rear panel, and the other end into a suitable wall
outlet.
9 AC Mains Fuse
Your Classé power amplifier has an AC mains fuse, accessible on the rear
panel. If you suspect that your AC fuse has blown, disconnect your
amplifier from the AC mains, as well as from its input connections and
speaker connections, and refer to the appropriate item of the section
entitled Troubleshooting.
Do not open your amplifier. There are no user-serviceable parts within
this product.
