The pin assignments of these XLR-type female output connectors are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal √ (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio Engineering Society.
Outputs are also provided in a high quality single-ended form on RCA plugs. Single-ended cables using RCA connectors are the most common form of analog connection used in consumer electronics. When implemented carefully and used with high quality interconnect cables, this standard can provide excellent performance.
Classé has gone to extraordinary effort to ensure that the single-ended (RCA) outputs of your disc player are as good as possible. However, this connection standard cannot offer the immunity from interference that balanced interconnection doesƒhence our recommendation to use the balanced outputs when possible.
If you are not using balanced analog interconnection, then connect these single-ended outputs to your preampli–er/processor using high quality RCA-terminated cables. Your Classé dealer can advise you on the selection of cables suitable for your system.
2Test/Monitor Video Outputs
The disc player is equipped with both S-Video and Composite video outputs that can be used to display the information on the LCD touchscreen on a video monitor. This capability allows you to operate the disc player from a distance.
The S-Video output employs the standard S-Video (mini-DIN) connector, while the Composite output employs a high quality RCA connector.
Both analog video outputs are active simultaneously. Connect the appropriate video output(s) to the corresponding inputs on your A/V preampli–er/processor using high quality video cables. Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an appropriate cable selection.
3Digital Outputs
This disc player has three digital outputs, all of which carry the same information. You may use whichever connection you prefer, consistent with the available connections on your A/V preampli–er/processor. Only one of the three connections is needed.
