Important!

✓Check the manual levels setting within the associated position, at system setup/speakers/(applicable position)/manual levels/(select the channel) and then use the increase or decrease buttons to adjust the channel in question

✓If none of these solutions work, please consult your Classé dealer for assistance. Never attempt to replace an internal fuse. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your unit.

3.Only one speaker seems to be playing.

✓Does the problem occur with all inputs? If so, check the interconnect cables between the preamp and the power amp. If no fault is found there, check the speaker wires for secure connections.

Be certain that the power amplifier is off before checking any connections between the surround processor and power amplifier, or between the speakers and the power amplifier.

✓If the problem occurs only with a particular input, check the input balance control setting of that particular input:

menu a system setup a input a input name a balance where input name is the particular input in question.

✓If the input balance appears to be correct, check the interconnect cables between the corresponding source component and the SSP-300.

4.The IR remote control seems not to function.

✓Ensure that there are no obstacles between the IR remote and the IR sensor (located to the right of the Mute button).

✓If the batteries are weak, replace them with fresh ones.

5.There is a hum coming out of the speakers.

✓If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they are not running alongside any AC power cords.

✓If you are running single-ended interconnects, make sure they are not too long. Long runs of single-ended interconnects have a natural tendency to pick up noise even if they are shielded.

✓If any source components connected to your surround processor has a cable TV hooked up to it, try disconnecting the cable television line from the source. If the hum goes away, you will need an isolation device between your cable and that particular source. Refer to your Classé dealer for one of these inexpensive devices.

✓If the hum exists only on the phono input, make sure the turntable/tonearm assembly is not too close to other components. There should be at least 12 inches (30cm) clearance from the other components. The more clearance you provide, the better (as long as the tonearm cable is not stretching).

✓Make sure the tonearm cable is not touching or running alongside an AC cable.

✓Make sure you have the proper loading for your phono cartridge. If you are in doubt, consult your authorized Classé dealer.
