streams up to 24-bits long and up to 192 kHz sampling frequency. We

recommend using cables that are optimized for digital audio signal transfer.

Your Classé dealer can help you with proper cable selections.

NOTE: e bandwidth limits of TOSlink™ components are very

much strained at a 192 kHz sampling frequency. For that reason

we recommend keeping the TOSlink™ connections at a maximum

rate of 96 kHz.

5 Analog Audio Inputs - Single-Ended

e CP-800 supports 3pr of RCA type connectors for single-ended analog

sources. ey are labeled R1/L1 to R3/L3.

6 Analog Audio Inputs - Balanced

e CP-800 supports 2pr of XLR type connectors for balanced analog

sources. ey are labeled R4/L4 and R5/L5.

NOTE: is input conforms to the AES (Audio Engineering

Society) “pin 2 = hot” convention. e pin assignments of these

XLR-type female output connectors are:

Pin 1: Signal ground

Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)

Pin 3: Signal – (inverting)

Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Verify that the source components are compliant with this

convention (Classé components are compliant). If not compliant,

contact your Classé dealer for assistance.

NOTE: e Balanced and Single-Ended 2-channel analog audio

inputs can be set for either bypass mode (no DSP processing) or

converted to digital format to allow bass management, tone control

and/or equalization. If no processing is applied, analog signals

remain in the analog domain, even if not specically set to analog

bypass

7 IR Input

Use the IR input when the front panel IR window does not have a clear

line-of-sight with the remote control, for instance, when the CP-800 is

installed in a cabinet. Attach this input to an infrared repeater system to

route signals from the remote control to the CP-800 via a mono mini-jack

(3.5mmphono).NotethattherearIRportscanbeenabledordisabled.

When enabled, the front panel IR window will be disabled and vice versa.

e list of available IR command codes can also be used in macros for

sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the

CP-800 in the larger context of the complete system.
