3.Only one speaker seems to be playing.

Does the problem occur with all inputs? If so, check the interconnect cables between the preamp and the power amp. If no fault is found there, check the speaker wires for secure connections.

Be certain that the power amplifier is off before checking any connections between the surround processor and power amplifier, or between the speakers and the power amplifier.

If the problem occurs only with a particular input, check the input balance control setting of that particular input:

menu a system setup a input a input name a balance where input name is the particular input in question.

If the input balance appears to be correct, check the interconnect cables between the corresponding source component and the SSP-300.

4.The IR remote control seems not to function.

Ensure that there are no obstacles between the IR remote and the IR sensor (located to the right of the Mute button).

If the batteries are weak, replace them with fresh ones.

5.There is a hum coming out of the speakers.

If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they are not running alongside any AC power cords.

If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they are not too long. Long runs of single-ended interconnects have a natural tendency to pick up noise even if they are shielded.

If any source components connected to your surround processor has a cable TV hooked up to it, try disconnecting the cable television line from the source. If the hum goes away, you will need an isolation device between your cable and that particular source. Refer to your Classé dealer for one of these inexpensive devices.

6.There is a hum coming from the unit.

This symptom suggests you have a lot of DC offset or other artifacts on your AC mains line. Try connecting to another AC circuit (not merely a different plug, but a different circuit).

Check to see if you have any halogen lighting or dimmers on the same circuit as the surround processor, as they can be the cause of hum in power supply transformers.

7.Two pictures appear on the main video screen.

If a progressive scan signal, such as from a DVD player component output, is configured as an SDTV input, two pictures will appear on the screen. Either change the output of the source to SDTV (interlaced) video, or change the configuration of the component video input to bypass.
