Unpacking and Placement

Carefully unpack your DVD player according to the supplied instructions, and remove all accessories from the carton.

Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé product. Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by the warranty.

The CDP-300 has been designed to operate optimally on any stable and level surface. Incorporating vibration damping within the CDP-300’s feet and CD/ DVD Drive Assembly, a high level of isolation from external disturbances is incorporated.

As with any digital component, it is best to place the CDP-300 somewhat apart from your most sensitive analog electronics, particularly turntables and preamplifiers. Generally, placing it on its own shelf should suffice.

Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be left behind the CDP-300. We suggest leaving eight inches (20 cm) of free space behind your DVD player to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without crimping or undue strain.

Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a power amplifier (or any other heat source).

Your Classé DVD player generates a certain amount of heat in the course of normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and three inches to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).

Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more information.
