11 extensive listening tests Excellent measur ed per formance is to be expected in world-class products, and Classé products deliver that performance. Ho wever , experience has shown that technical excellence alone is insuffi cient to guarantee subjectively musical results.

16 Classé has gone to extraordinary eff ort to ensure that the single-ended (R CA) outputs of your integrated amplifi er are as good as possible. If you need to use these preamplifi er-level outputs, connect these single- ended outputs to an amplifi er using high-quality shielded R CA-terminated cables.
17 e pin assignments of the XLR input connectors are: Pin 1: S ignal ground Pin 2: S ignal + (non-inverting) Pin 3: S ignal – (inverting) Connector ground lug: chassis ground ese pin assignments are consistent with the standard adopted by the Audio E ngineering Society (AES14-1992).
18 8 Classé CAN-Bus Control Ports ese RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication applications using Classé Audio ’ s implementation of the Controller Area N etwork (CAN) Bus specifi cation.
19 12 AC Mains Fuse An AC mains fuse holder is located next to the A C mains input. I t is unlikely that you should ever have to r eplace this fuse, but if you do, it is critical that you do so only with a fuse of exactly the same rating and value (specifi ed in T roubleshooting #8) .
20 The Remote Control Y our new integrated amplifi er comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the CAP-2100 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. e buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.
21 3 Input Selection ese Up and Down arrow keys will cycle through the active inputs on your CAP-2100. If you have inputs y ou are not using, we suggest deactivating them in or der to provide faster , easier access to the inputs you are actually using.
22 The Menu System Y our CAP-2100 includes a versatile LCD touchscr een which supports both an attractive information display and a fl exible menu system. While its use is quite intuitive, it is also quite extensive. is section of the owner ’ s manual outlines the many capabilities found in the menu system.
23 main menu system P ressing the front panel Menu button to the left of the L CD touchscreen brings up a comprehensive main menu system , the top two levels of which ar e shown above.
24 rotary e rotar y knob on the front panel does not dir ectly control the volume. Instead, it controls cir cuitry that does so with greater fi delity and precision than traditional volume potentiometers could ever achieve.
25 Of course, it is possible to bump into the knob by accident, which might result in its spinning very quickly indeed. Rather than increasing the volume uncontrollably under these conditions, the CAP-2100 actually slows ev erything down again as a safety measure against accidentally blo wing up your speakers.
26 • speed limit: establishes a maximum rotary speed, beyond which there will be no change in volume whatsoever; the knob ’ s input will be ignored completely until it slows do wn below the speed limit.
27 • e button moves the cursor to the right, adding characters along the way . (Change each character to what you want as you go along, using the + and – buttons.) • e + and – buttons change the current character through the available characters.
28 phono gain e phono gain menu is only active if the optional phono module is installed; otherwise it is grayed out. When it is installed, the CAP-2100 will automatically recognize it, r ename the line 1 input to phono , and activate the input on the main menu.
29 teach IR e CAP-2100 provides discrete infrar ed (IR) command codes for all its functions, a list that extends far beyond what is requir ed by normal remote controls. H owev er , many of these functions are critical if you plan to create a customized remote control with macr os that take command of your entire system.
30 brightness e brightness setting of the CAP-2100 has three possible values: lo w , medium, and high . Select the appropriate setting based on the lev el of ambient light typically found in your listening room while using the system.
31 remote Fkeys e remote control supplied with the CAP-2100 has four function keys ( Fkeys ) that allow you to hav e instant, easy access to specifi c system functions that might otherwise be buried in a menu some wher e.
32 status e primar y function of the status screen is to pr ovide information about the current operating status of the CAP-2100. I t also provides access to version info screen, which displays in.
33 hardware setup 1 Classé Delta Series Products T wo or more Classé Delta series products ar e required, at least one of which must have a touchscreen display . 2 Category 5 Network Cables ese are ordinary network cables, commonly used for broadband Internet connections.
34 e diagrams below illustrate how to connect the CAN-Bus har dware. Any combination of models in any order without SSP-300 or SSP-600. OUT CAN - BUS IN OUT CAN - BUS IN OUT CAN - BUS IN OUT CAN - BUS IN Any combination of models in any order with SSP-300 or SSP-600.
35 e touchscreen will then display the CAN-Bus devices screen, which lists connected Delta series components by model & serial number . Highlighting a unit on the CAN-B us devices screen identifi es it as the target unit .
36 global brightness By setting all y our components to global brightness you can adjust the touchscreen and LED brightness for your entir e system by changing the brightness of a single touchscreen. All CAN-Bus softwar e updates automatically set the updated unit to Global Brightness.
37 PlayLink is automatically active after a software update, and the P layLink icon will only appear on the CAN-Bus confi guration screen of a Delta series disc player .
38 Troubleshooting In general, you should r efer any ser vice problems to your Classé dealer . Before contacting your dealer , check to see if the problem is listed here. If it is, try the suggested solutions. If none of these solves the problem, contact y our Classé dealer .
39 3. Only one speaker seems to be playing. • Check the main balance control setting of the CAP-2100 by pressing the M enu button, followed by the Balance button. • Does the problem occur with all inputs? I f so, check the interconnect cables between the source component and the CAP-2100 input.
40 • If the hum exists only on the phono input, make sure the turntable/tonearm assembly is not too close to other components. ere should be at least 12 inches (30cm) clearance from the other components. e more clearance you pro vide, the better (as long as the tonearm cable is not stretching).
41 b. If the fuse appears to be blown, replace it only with a fuse of the same type and rating (specifi ed below). U sing any other type of fuse, particularly a larger-value fuse, can r esult in per manent damage to your integr ated amplifi er . If you ar e uncomfor table replacing the fuse yourself , contact your Classé dealer for assistance.
42 Care and Maintenance cleaning the cabinet T o remove dust from the cabinet of your integrated amplifi er , use a feather duster or a soft, lint-free cloth.
