coaxial digital output

The coaxial digital output provides a digital audio signal via a 75 Ω coaxial

 

cable equipped with RCA-type connectors. Connect this output to a

 

corresponding coaxial digital input on your preampli–er/processor.

AES/EBU digital output

The AES/EBU output provides a digital audio signal via a 110Ω balanced

 

cable equipped with XLR-type connectors. Connect this output to a

 

corresponding AES/EBU digital input on your preampli–er/processor.

optical digital output

The optical digital output provides a digital audio signal via a standard

 

EIAJ (≈ Toslink™∆) optical cable. Connect this output to a corresponding

 

optical digital input on your preampli–er/processor.

 

Making any one of these connections allows you to feed the signal in its

 

digital form directly to your A/V preampli–er for further digital processing.

IR Input and Output

 

Your Classé player includes two 1 /8th-inch mono mini-jacks in order to

 

support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today.

 

Infrared commands exist (for example) for toggling the player between

 

operate and standby, in addition to discrete command codes for either

 

operate or standby. These codes may be used in ≈macros∆ for sophisticated

 

remote control systems, facilitating the control of the player in the larger

 

context of a complete system.

 

The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex

 

macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate —awlessly. If this

 

capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with

 

your authorized Classé dealer.

 

Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and

 

output of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. They are used

 

with standard IR receivers, distribution ampli–ers, and emitters (available

 

from your dealer) to translate the remote»s IR signal to an electrical signal

 

and vice versa. The big advantages here include being able to easily route

 

the signals anywhere they might need to go and the reliability of a solid

 

electrical connection.

 

Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you

 

usually must control many products, your player includes both an IR input

 

(for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass along the

 

same signal to the next product). This allows you to ≈daisy chain∆ your

 

control wires from one product to the next.
