•external control of your preamplifier by systems such as i-Command™, AMX® and Crestron™

For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems.

9AC Mains Power Switch

The main power switch for the CDP-502 is located at the right side of the rear panel. The player should be in standby mode before being switched off. Switching the unit on puts it in standby mode.

Potentially dangerous voltages and current capabilities exist within your disc player, even when disconnected from AC mains. Do not attempt to open any portion of the player’s cabinet. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your disc player. All service of this product must be referred to a qualified authorized Classé dealer or distributor.

10AC Mains Input

An IEC standard power cord (supplied) is used with the CDP-502. Plug the cord into the IEC outlet provided, and the other end into a suitable wall outlet.

The AC inlet assembly includes a built-in fuse for the protection of the unit in case of major AC mains problems and/or component failure.

If your CDP-502 ever behaves as though it were not connected to the AC mains (meaning, it seems completely “dead”), remove the AC cord from the unit, and open the fuse holder immediately above the AC cord inlet. If the fuse is blown, take your CDP-502 to your qualified Classé dealer immediately.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the CDP-502. Do not attempt to diagnose the problem yourself.
