13 Microphone Input
The MIC input on the rear of the SSP-300 is used during auto-calibration
of the system.
For a quick setup, connect the supplied microphone to this input and
follow the procedure outlined in the Initial Setup section of this manual.
For more details, please refer to The Menu System, later in this manual.
14 Analog Audio Inputs
These RCA jacks accept right-channel and left-channel (single-ended)
inputs from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players,
and tape decks. Any of these inputs may be selected by touching the
corresponding button on the main operational screen of the front panel
touchscreen.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest that you use only high-
quality shielded interconnect cables. Please consult with your local Classé
dealer for advice on the best cables for use in your system.
15 Analog Audio Outputs (stereo)
Four pairs of stereo analog outputs are provided on the SSP-300.
REC1, REC2 and REC3 support various recording devices (both the
audio portion of an A/V recorder such as a VCR or a DVR, as well as
audio-only recorders such as CD-R burners).
The ZONE output supplies an independently selectable audio signal to a
remote zone within your home, regardless of what is being listened to in
the main system. If you find this idea interesting, we suggest you speak
with you authorized Classé dealer about multi-zone system designs for
your home.
16 7.1 Channel Analog Audio Input
A 7.1 channel analog input is provided for use with a multichannel SACD
and/or DVD-Audio player. For reasons of copy protection, most such
players do not provide a high-resolution digital output. Instead, they use
high quality analog outputs.
In the SSP-300, these signals are passed through to the speakers with no
further processing, in order to preserve the purity of the signal. When this
input is selected, the SSP-300 provides only volume control (including the
volume offsets used to balance all your loudspeakers to one another).
17 7.1 Channel Main Outputs
Single-ended cables using RCA connectors are the most common form
of analog connection used in consumer electronics. When implemented
carefully and used with high quality interconnect cables, this standard can
provide excellent performance. Classé has gone to extraordinary effort to
ensure that the single-ended (RCA) outputs of your surround processor are
unsurpassed.
Connect these single-ended outputs to your power amplifiers using high
quality RCA-terminated cables. Your Classé dealer can advise you on the
selection of cables suitable for your system.
