1. UNPACKING AND ACCESSORIES:
The Classé CDP.5 has been carefully wrapped in heavy gauge plastic, packed in semi-rigid foam and
contained in a special box. To remove the unit, open and spread the top flaps of the box. By its sides,
lift the CDP.5 out along with its attached foam packing. Remove each foam side by pulling them
straight out. Remove the plastic wrap and inspect the unit for any concealed damage. Report any
concealed damage to your dealer promptly.
Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the following is also included:
1) Detachable A.C. power cord.
2) Remote control handset (along with allen key and two (2) type "AAA" batteries).
Please report any missing parts to your dealer promptly.
2. SETUP:
The CDP.5 CD player must be operated on a horizontal platform (see specifications for details)
such as a table or, preferably, specialized audio furniture to extract the best performance. Like fine
turntables and interconnect cables, the final location of the CDP.5 should be free of any hum-inducing
magnetic fields, such as those caused by power amplifiers, AC line filters and other regulation devices.
Such locations can introduce noise into an audio system, which inevitably degrades sound quality.
Ideally, a few feet should separate the CDP.5 from the power amplifier. As well, keep low-level
interconnect cables away from the power amp and separate from A.C. power cords. The CDP.5
generates negligible amounts of heat. Therefore, air space around the CDP.5 for ventilation need not be
a concern.
Important!
Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage.
Regardless of the voltage, the fuse rating should be a 3/8 AMP SLO-BLO type.
