b.If the fuse appears to be blown, replace it only with a fuse of the same type and rating (specified below). Using any other type of fuse, particularly a larger-value fuse, can result in permanent damage to your integrated amplifier. If you are uncomfortable replacing the fuse yourself, contact your Classé dealer for assistance.

Mains voltage:

100/120VAC

Fuse type:

MDL slow-blow

Rating:

6A

Mains voltage:

230/240VAC

Fuse type:

MDL slow-blow

Rating:

4A

c.After replacing the fuse and fuse cover, reconnect the integrated amplifier to the AC mains only and turn it on without reconnecting either the inputs or the speaker wires. If the fuse blows again, disconnect it from the AC mains and contact your Classé dealer for assistance.

d.If everything seems fine, place the integrated amplifier back into standby and carefully reconnect the input cable and power the integrated amplifier up. If the fuse then blows (or the integrated amplifier goes into protection), you may have a serious fault with your integrated amplifier/processor. Contact your Classé dealer.

e.Finally, if everything is still fine, place the integrated amplifier in standby and carefully reconnect the speaker wires. Check both ends of the speaker wires for possible short circuits. Then power up the integrated amplifier again. If the integrated amplifier remains functional (the fuse does not blow), then the original fuse probably blew in order to protect the integrated amplifier from a large AC mains surge. If it blows again, contact your Classé dealer for assistance.

9.The Standby LED is flashing fast, and there is an error message displayed on the touchscreen LCD.

• Try resetting the unit by disconnecting it from the AC mains power, waiting a few seconds, and reconnecting the integrated amplifier to power. If this does not solve the problem, contact your Classé dealer for assistance.
