10 DC Trigger Input and Output
Manyaudio/videocomponentscansupplyaDCcontrolvoltageto
associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé
integrated amplifier can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be
switched between operate and standby automatically.
e1/8th-inchmini-jackTrigger In provides for remote-controlled
turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the integrated
amplifier.
Two1/8th-inchmono mini-jacksprovideindividuallycontrollableDC
trigger outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as
described in e Menu System. For example, your dealer can program
Trigger Out1 to toggle an outboard Classé power amplifier between
operate and standby with your CAP-2100 (to facilitate the operation of
bi-amped systems).

11 Ground terminal
e ground terminal on your integrated amplifier is most often used for
the ground wire of a turntable, assuming you have the optional phono
module installed (see your authorized Classé dealer for more information
on this option if you are interested).
Connectingthegroundwirefromyourturntable’stonearmtothisscrew
terminal usually minimizes any hum or buzzing to which the turntable
might otherwise be susceptible. Your authorized Classé dealer can assist
you in handling this problem if it should arise.
