UNPACKING & SET-UP
Your Classé CAV-75 multi-channel power amplifier is packed in high density, semi-rigid foam placed in a special cardboard box. To remove the unit, open and spread all the top flaps of the box and by its sides, lift out the entire unit and put it on a large flat surface. Take it out of the plastic bag and inspect the unit for any concealed damage. Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the following have also been included:
1)Detachable linecord.
2)Allen key for top plate.
Please report any damage or missing parts to your dealer as soon as possible.
Place the CAV-75 at or near its final set-up position, allowing 8 inches at the rear for tightening the speaker output connectors. For optimum sonic performance, we recommend the optional CLASSÉ REFERENCE A.C. LINECORD. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory.
The power transformer in the CAV-75 is located at the front-left of the unit. Ideally, a few feet should separate this area from components which potentially could pick up hum. These include preamplifiers, turntables, and interconnect cables. In terms of providing adequate airspace for cooling, a good rule of thumb is to allow 6 inches above and 3 inches on each side of the unit.
Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage. The CAV-75 has one line fuse (external), the rating of which should be as follows:
LINE VOLTAGE | FUSE RATING |
100 or 120 V.A.C. | 5 AMP SLOW BLOW 125 or 250 volts |
220 or 240 V.A.C. | 3 AMP SLOW BLOW 250 volts |
