placement considerations Before installing your SSP-800 into the system, be sure to read the following
placement suggestions.
• Do not place the SSP-800 directly on the top surface of a power
amplifi er or any other heat source. Also keep the processor out of
direct sunlight.
• Place the SSP-800 so that the IR window on the front panel is clearly
visible and not blocked.
• Position
the SSP-800 in a central and convenient location for both
visibility and use. e processor is the hub for all other component
connections and generally your primary interaction point. In addition,
by placing the processor close to the other system components, you’re
minimizing the cable lengths and hence reducing the amount of noise
that’s introduced into the system through the cabling.
• Leave
adequate clearance behind the SSP-800 for the AC cord and
connecting cables. We suggest eight inches (20 cm) of free space to
allow cables suffi cient room to bend without crimping or undue strain
.
• Allow at least three inches (7.5 cm) of clearance above and to each
side of the processor for ventilation. Do not obstruct the area around
the processor so that excess heat can dissipate through normal air
circulation. Avoid placing the processor on a soft surface, such as
plush carpeting, that may restrict airfl ow.
Important!
Obey all placement considerations. Not obeying the
placement considerations may result in damage that is not
covered under the warranty.
warm-up/break-in period Your new Classé processor delivers outstanding performance immediately.
However, you can expect to hear subtle improvements as it reaches normal
operating temperatures and various components, especially capacitors,
“break-in”.
In our experience, you can expect the greatest changes within the fi rst 300 hours.
After initial break-in, you’ll enjoy consistent performance levels for years to
come.
e only exception is if the unit is unplugged for an extended period of time,
during which the processor will cool down. Depending on the degree of cooling
involved, you should expect a brief warm-up period before the Surround Sound
Processor’s sound quality is at its best.
