1 THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE AT CLASSÉ Thank you for purchasing the Classé Audio CDP.3 compact disk player. We take great pride in offering components that combine exceptional sonic performance and long-term reliability. To do that, we have invested in extraordinary design and manufacturing facilities. We trust that you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come. CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY All of our components benefit from the same rigorous design goal: All Classé products must reproduce music with the harmonic and spatial integrity typical of fine instruments heard in a live, unamplified performance. Single Circuit Design To this end, we make extensive use of carefully optimized versions of the same basic circuit precisely matched to specific power requirements. This means that all Classé line level components and power amplifiers benefit from years of refinement. However, our efforts do not stop here. Listening: The Critical Design Element Once we determine general circuit values for a particular application, we listen carefully while exchanging and mixing different parts (transistors, capacitors, wiring, PC boards, etc.) and adjusting specific operating voltages within proper engineering ranges. Extended Real-World Lifespan Every Classé component, even the most affordable, benefits from our painstaking approach to design parameters. The result is an optimum balance between the often-conflicting demands of exceptional performance and long- term reliability. Our most expensive components gain from even tighter tolerance parts and highly segmented and exceptionally robust power supplies with large reserve-current capabilities. Our Pride in Manufacturing, Your Pride in Ownership We build all of our components to the highest possible standards. From multi-layer glass-epoxy circuit boards, the full sized power-supplies, and the massive faceplates, every Classé product is a tribute to both the science and art of sound reproduction. We hope that you derive as much pleasure and satisfaction in using your Classé as we did in producing it. UNPACKING & SET-UP WARNING: THE CDP.3 IS NOT TO BE OPERATED WITH THE COVER OPENED. THERE IS INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN THE COVER IS OPENED. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM. Safety Instructions 1.WATER AND MOISTURE: This product should not be used near water. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. 2.HEAT: This product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances which produces heat. 3.POWER SOURCES: This product should be connected to an AC power source of the proper rated voltage. The original shipping container and the serial number tag at the back of the unit will stipulate the AC voltage from which this unit can operate correctly. 4.SERVICING: Do not open this unit for any reason. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to an authorized service technician. 5.NON-USE PERIODS: The power cord of this unit should be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for an extended period of time. 6. DO NOT REMOVE THE TOP COVER while the unit is on or connected to an AC outlet, there is a SHOCK HAZARD, also, foreign objects could fall in the unit and cause severe damage to internal components, the player may also leak invisible laser radiation. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM. 1. Unpacking and Accessories The Classé CDP.3 has been carefully wrapped in heavy gauge plastic, packed in semi-rigid foam and contained in a special box. To remove the unit, open and spread the top flaps of the box. By its sides, lift the CDP.3 out along with its attached foam packing. Remove each foam side by pulling them straight out. Remove the plastic wrap and inspect the unit for any concealed damage. Report any concealed damage to your dealer promptly. Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the following is also included: - Detachable A.C. power cord. - Remote control handset (along with two (2) type AAA batteries). Please report any missing parts to your dealer promptly. 2. Setup The CDP.3 CD player must be operated on a horizontal platform (see specifications for details) such as a table or, preferably, specialized audio furniture to extract the best performance. Like fine turntables and interconnect cables, the final location of the CDP.3 should be free of any hum- inducing magnetic fields, such as those caused by power amplifiers, AC line filters and other regulation devices. Such locations can introducenoise into an audio system, which inevitably degrades sound quality. Ideally, a few feet should separate the CDP.3 from the power amplifier. As well, keep low-level interconnect cables away from the power amp and separate from A.C. power cords. The CDP.3 generates negligible amounts of heat. Therefore, air space around the CDP.3 for ventilation need not be a concern. Important! Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage. Regardless of the voltage, the fuse rating should be a 3/8 AMP SLO-BLO type. A.C. LINE POWER The ON/OFF (POWER) switch on the CDP.3 is located on the front panel of the unit, at the left, besides the CD drawer. While thoroughly musical shortly after turn-on, the CDP.3 will exhibit sonic growth for the first 300 hours of use. For optimum sonic performance, you should consider use of the optional CLASSÉ REFERENCE A.C. LINE CORD. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory. CAUTION: Floating the ground, or defeating the ground on a 3-prong line cord may create a shock hazard. Connect all interconnect cables between the electronics before connecting the A.C. line cords to the wall outlets. This will reduce the potential shock hazard. In addition, please read the warranty section of this owner's manual. REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND FUNCTIONS The CDP.3 compact disk player is equipped with both BALANCED and REGULAR RCA (single ended) analog outputs. Connecting the CDP.3 to your audio system requires a pair of BALANCED or REGULAR RCA type interconnects and the supplied AC power cord. The CDP.3 is also equipped with a SINGLE ENDED (S/PDIF) data output connector. To use this output, you require a SINGLE-ENDED (REGULAR) DIGITAL cable and an S/PDIF input connector on your digital processor. Refer to Fig. 1 for visual aid. A note about the connecting cables The overall performance of the CD PLAYER will vary dramatically with the quality and type of cables chosen. Selection of the highest quality digital output cables combined with proper output interconnects is recommended for maximum performance of the Classé CDP.3. AC Line Input In addition to the analog and digital outputs, the remaining connection on the rear panel of the CDP.3 is the AC input connector. Connect the supplied AC power cord to this input. As the CAUTION section on the previous page indicates, it is always a wise PRECAUTION to connect all interconnect cables before attaching the AC power cords.
