Carefully unpack your CD player according to the supplied instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.

Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé product. Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.

As with any digital component, it is best to place the CDP-100 somewhat apart from your most sensitive analog electronics, particularly turntables and preampliﬁers. Generally, placing it on its own shelf should sufﬁce.

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be left behind the CDP-100. We suggest leaving eight inches (20 cm) of free space behind your CD player to allow all cables sufﬁcient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.

Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a power ampliﬁer (or any other heat source).

Your Classé CD player generates a certain amount of heat in the course of normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and three inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airﬂow (such as plush carpeting).

Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more information.

The serial number for your CD player is found on the rear of the unit. Please note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety Instructions for your future reference.
