Welcome to the Classé family

Congratulations on your purchase of a Classé product. It is the result of many years of continuous refinement, and we are sure that you will enjoy it for many years to come.

We value our relationship with our customers. Please allow us to stay in touch with you by returning your warranty card now, before you pack up the shipping carton of your new product and forget all about it. Doing so will enable us to let you know about any possible future upgrades or updates that might become available for your Classé component.

Sending in your warranty card also registers your product with us so that warranty service can be obtained easily and quickly, even if you have mislaid your original sales slip. You will find the warranty registration card at the end of the separate warranty policy booklet, enclosed. Alternatively, you may register your purchase online at www.classeaudio.com

Please take a few minutes to register online or fill out the warranty registration card and drop it in the mail.

Every effort has been made to make the Classé CDP-502 simple and straightforward to install and use.

Still, we have no way to evaluate other variables such as the size and shape of your room, its acoustics, and the associated equipment you have chosen to use with your disc player. All of these factors influence the ultimate performance of your system.

For this reason, we strongly encourage you to have your system installed and calibrated by your dealer, whose experience, training, and specialized equipment can make a profound difference in the final performance of the system.
