13IR Input: Main and Zone

Your Classé surround processor includes two 1/8th-inch mono mini- jacks to support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today. Infrared commands exist (for example) for toggling the surround processor 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 surround processor in the larger context of a complete system.

The SSP-600 has two separate IR inputs, one for the MAIN system and one that addresses only the functions of the remote ZONE. IR commands routed to either input will be interpreted as intended to affect only that section of the SSP-600.

For example, if you send a command to change the input to the DVD player, routing it to the ZONE IR IN, only the remote ZONE will change to the DVD input. The MAIN system will be unaffected.

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.

The surround processor is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Vdc, with the tip of the mini-plugs defined to be positive relative to the shank of the plug.

Note: The Classe Delta series IR inputs respond to an “idle-high, active- low” signal. Please ensure that any third party IR control systems are configured accordingly.
