7 Optical Digital Inputs
These connectors accept digital audio signals in the EIAJ optical (sometimes called
“Toslink™”) digital interface standard from a digital satellite receiver, compact
disc, DVD player or other digital source component. Connect the optical digital
output of your source component to either of the EIAJ optical inputs using a
high quality EIAJ optical cable. Your Classé dealer can assist you in making an
appropriate cable selection.
8 AES/EBU Digital Input
This input accepts digital audio in the professional 110Ω AES/EBU digital
interface standard (via a cable equipped with XLR-type connectors) from a digital
satellite receiver, compact disc, DVD or other digital source component. Connect
the AES/EBU digital output of your source component to the AES/EBU input of
the SSP-300 using a high quality 110Ω AES/EBU cable. Your Classé dealer can
assist you in making an appropriate cable selection.
The pin assignments of these AES/EBU XLR-type female input connectors are:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: Digital + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Digital – (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio
Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. Refer to the operating
manual of your digital source to verify that the pin assignments of its output
connector corresponds to the SSP-300. If not, wire the cable so that the
appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
9 Classé CAN Bus Control Ports
These RJ-45 connectors are reserved for future control and communication
applications using Classé Audio’s implementation of the Controller Area Network
(CAN) Bus specification.
10 RS-232 Control Port
This port has two purposes:
• downloading new operating software into your surround processor (should
new features ever be added).
• external control of your surround processor by systems such as i-Command™,
AMX® and Crestron™.
For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation
systems.
