The Classé SSP-60 Preamplifier/Surround Sound Processor is a beautiful sounding high-end two- channel Preamplifier which also performs the complex task of decoding and processing multi channel Surround Sound , while remaining simple and intuitive enough for anyone to use. The SSP-60 is the high quality center of any audio and home theater installation. It will sound and work best in your system when used with other high end products, such as those from Classé. Classé has a powerful selection of single, dual and multi channel power amplifiers, and also builds wonderful CD, DVD and SACD players.
This owner’s manual will make it possible for you to set up the SSP-60 and begin using it only a short period of time after you take it out of the box. Section 1 quickly details getting it out of the box and suggests a few precautions. Section 2 explains how to plug in all the wires from all the associated equipment. Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 include instructions on setting up and using the SSP-60’s stereo and surround sound capabilities correctly.
The most difficult part of the set-up will be attaching all the wires. Classé recommends labeling each and every input or output wire in your system, including the AC cables. When you’ve done this you will know what equipment is connected at each end. Labeling is a simple task which takes a few extra minutes, but which can save hours of effort if you ever want to change anything, even a single cable or wire.
It is also a good idea to make a chart of all the associated equipment and how you want to attach everything together. Even a simple penciled flow chart will make your tasks go faster with fewer hookup errors. You can keep the chart for later reference when you want to add to or subtract equipment from the system.
