Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your
surround processor
Carefully unpack your surround processor according to the supplied
instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé
product. Shipping your new component in anything other
than its purpose-designed packing material may result in
damage that is not covered by the warranty.
placement As with any surround processor, it is best to place the SSP-300 centrally within
your system, since it is the hub to which all other components are connected.
It should also be located at a convenient height for both visibility and use,
since you generally interact with your surround processor more than any other
component (changing inputs, adjusting volume, etc.).
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables
must be left behind the SSP-300. We suggest leaving eight inches (20
cm) of free space behind your surround processor to allow all cables
sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a
power amplifier (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé surround processor generates a certain amount of heat in the course
of normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and
three inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid
placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and
custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed
rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more
information.
serial number The serial number for your surround processor is found on the rear of the
unit. Please note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety
Instructions for your future reference.
