Important!

Connect all source components to the SSP-800 rear panel.

Source devices that you may want to integrate into your surround system might include audio and video devices, such as CD and DVD players, and your main display, such as a ﬂat-panel display or projection system. If necessary, refer to the Rear Panel section in this manual for a detailed description of each connector found on the rear panel. Your local Classé dealer can also provide useful suggestions for what source components you should add to your system and guidance in setting them up.

Make sure you keep a detailed record of the rear panel connectors that you used while connecting the source components!

To help keep track of the diﬀerent sources, we recommend keeping a pencil- and-paper record while you set-up the surround system. You’ll need to know what connectors each source is attached to when you enter the setup menus. An Installation Worksheet is included at the end of this manual to assist you.

NOTE: In the SSP-800 default settings, each rear panel input is associated with an input selection within the Setup menu. A complete list of the factory default input settings is available at the end of this manual.

Connect the power amplifiers to the SSP-800 rear panel.

Verify that the power amplifier(s) is plugged in but powered OFF before connecting to the SSP-800!

We recommend using high quality cables with XLR connectors. Connect the cables to the Main Analog Audio outputs on the SSP-800 rear panel, using the balanced XLR connection options.

NOTE: These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio Engineering Society. Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-input power ampliﬁers to verify that the pin assignments of their input connectors correspond to the SSP- 800. If you are using Classé ampliﬁers, this note does not apply.

If needed, the pin assignments of the XLR-type male output connectors are:

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground
