These pin assignments are consistent with the standard adopted by the Audio
Engineering Society (AES14-1992).
If you are using your Classé CD player with a Classé preamplifier, you're all set
– just take standard balanced interconnect cables and plug them in.
If you are using another brand of preamplifier, please refer to the operating manual
of your balanced-input preamplifier to verify that the pin assignments of its input
connectors correspond to your player. If not, have your dealer wire the cables so
that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
3 Single-ended (RCA) analog 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 CD player are as good as possible. However, this connection
standard cannot offer the immunity from interference that balanced
interconnection does—hence our recommendation to use the balanced outputs
when possible.
If you are not using balanced analog interconnection, then connect these single-
ended outputs to your preamplifier/processor using high quality RCA-terminated
cables. Your Classé dealer can advise you on the selection of cables suitable for
your system.
4 IR Input and Output
Your Classé player includes two
the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today. Infrared commands
exist (for example) for toggling the player between operate and standby, in addition
to discrete command codes for either operate or standby. These codes may be used
in "macros" for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the
player in the larger context of a complete system.
The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex macros
(chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this capability is of
interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with your authorized Classé
dealer.
Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and output
of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. They are used with standard
IR receivers, distribution amplifiers, and emitters (available from your dealer)
to translate the remote's IR signal to an electrical signal and vice versa. The big
advantages here include being able to easily route the signals anywhere they might
need to go and the reliability of a solid electrical connection.
Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you usually
must control many products, your player includes both an IR input (for the
control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass along the same signal to
the next product). This allows you to "daisy chain" your control wires from one
product to the next.
The player is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Volts DC, with the tip of
the mini-plug defined to be "positive" relative to the shank of the plug.
