8.Install the front panel (CT-2300 only).

Once all connections have been made and the amplifier is verified to be working correctly, remove the front panel from its packing and firmly press it into place.

NOTE: If the CT-2300 is NOT installed in an equipment rack, the front panel should be secured to the chassis using the supplied security tabs. These will prevent the faceplate from unexpectedly popping off if someone should try to lift the amplifier by its front panel.

Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, opens the way to a new level

of interaction between our Delta range of amplifiers, preamps, processors and source components. When the amplifier is connected with CAN-Bus, the different elements of a Delta or CT series system are in constant communication, creating a “global” network that delivers system wide status information and shared operational features, all through the touchscreen display.

CAN-Bus will allow a Delta or CT series touchscreen to:

• Display status information for every connected unit, including amplifiers which do not have a touchscreen display.

•Create a “PlayLink” that allows an SSP or Preamp to automatically switch to the correct input when a Delta series source component starts playback.

•Adjust the global system brightness.

•Configure the entire system to go in and out of standby at the touch of a button and also bring individual components in and out of standby.

•Mute any connected unit.

1Classé Delta or CT Series Products

Two or more Classé Delta or CT series products are required, at least one of which must have a touchscreen display.

2Category 5 Network Cables

These are ordinary network cables, commonly used for broadband Internet connections. They should be typical “straight through” cables not the “crossed over” type, and the total required will be one less than the total number of

Delta and/or CT series components in your system.

3CAN-Bus Terminator

A single CAN-Bus Terminator may be required. It is inserted into the CAN-Bus OUT connector of the last component in the CAN-Bus daisy chain. One is included in the box with your CT amplifier. They are also available free of charge from your nearest Classé Customer Support Centre http://www.Classeaudio.com/support/service.htm

4SSP-300 & 600 CAN-Bus Interface Box

Systems that include an SSP-600 or SSP-300 will also require an

SSP-300/600 CAN-Bus Interface Box. These are included with the products or available free of charge from your nearest Classé Customer Support Centre http://www.Classeaudio.com/support/service.htm
