Important!

3.Only one speaker seems to be playing.

Check the main balance control setting of the CAP-2100 by pressing the Menu button, followed by the Balance button.

Does the problem occur with all inputs? If so, check the interconnect cables between the source component and the CAP-2100 input. If no fault is found there, check the speaker wires for secure connections.

Be certain that the integrated amplifier is off before checking any connections between the speakers and the integrated amplifier.

If the problem occurs only with a particular input, check the input balance control setting of that particular input:

Menu system setup input input name balance where input name is the particular input in question.

If the input balance appears to be correct, check the interconnect cables between the corresponding source component and the CAP-2100.

4.The IR remote control seems not to function.

Ensure that there are no obstacles between the IR remote and the

IR sensor (located to the right of the Mute button).

If the batteries are weak, replace them with fresh ones.

Make sure there are no keys stuck on your Classé remote or on any other remote control in the room.

5.There is a hum coming out of the speakers.

Make sure your single-ended interconnects are not running alongside any AC power cords. (Long runs of single-ended interconnects have a natural tendency to pick up noise even if they are shielded.)

If any source components connected to your integrated amplifier has a cable TV hooked up to it, try disconnecting the cable television line from the source. If the hum goes away, you will need an isolation device between your cable and that particular source. Refer to your Classé dealer for one of these inexpensive devices.

If you have the optional phono module in your integrated amplifier, make sure that the ground wire of the tonearm is secured properly to the ground lug on the back of your preamp.

If the hum exists only on the phono input, make sure
