5 Balanced Main Analog Audio Outputs
Balanced connections between components provide the highest possible quality
analog signal connection. This is due to both the effective doubling of the strength
of the signal being transmitted and (even more importantly) to the significant
improvement in immunity from noise as compared to normal, "single-ended"
designs. These changes result in a significant improvement in transparency and
detail, as well as improved dynamics.
Using high quality cables, connect the balanced outputs of your SSP-600 to the
balanced inputs on your power amplifier. Your Classé dealer can assist you in
selecting cables appropriate for your system.
The pin assignments of these XLR-type male output connectors are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio
Engineering Society. Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-input power
amplifiers to verify that the pin assignments of their input connectors correspond
to the SSP-600. (This is not necessary if the you have Classé power amplifiers.) If
not, wire the cables so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent
input pin.
6 S-Video Outputs
The SSP-600 provides multiple S-video outputs to support different purposes.
• REC 1 and REC 2 are used to send the selected video signal to a video
recorder such as a VCR or a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for recording.
Since the presumption is that you are recording some program for your
personal video library, no OSD is ever superimposed on the video signal on
either REC output.
• MAIN provides the selected video signal for the primary zone (your home
theater) to your main display, and will superimpose an On Screen Display as
needed. This "OSD" provides the same information as the LCD screen on the
SSP-600 itself, making operation of the system from anywhere in the room
considerably easier.
7 Optical Digital Audio Output
This optical digital output allows you to distribute a digital source in its original,
unprocessed digital form. For example, if you had another multichannel system
elsewhere in the home, you could forward a Dolby Digital bitstream to the other
system from this one—running a single digital cable instead of five or six analog
cables for surround sound applications.
Alternatively, you could use this digital output to make digital recordings. Note
that this output simply passes whatever signal has been selected – you should
only make copies of recordings for which you have legal rights to do so. It is your
responsibility to comply with copyright law.
