death, or cause your Classé Omega SACD2
Player to be severely damaged or destroyed.

Do not operate the Classé Omega SACD2
Player with any portion of the chassis
removed or open. Dangerous voltages and
laser radiation may be encountered.

Connecting this unit to AC voltages other
than that specified on the rear of the unit
may cause extensive damage and increase risk 
of shock.

Check to make sure your local AC voltage
matches the voltage specified on the rear of
your Classé Omega SACD2 Player power
supply unit.

Do not operate this product near sources of
heat such as radiators, fireplaces, or heat
registers. Extreme heat may damage this unit.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire do
not expose this unit to water or moisture.

Use only the correct size fuse:
— 100-120 Volts

1.0 Amp, Slo-Blo

— 220-240 Volts

0.5 Amp, Slo-Blo

Do not open this unit. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Please refer service to
an authorized service technician.

periods or during lightning storms.

THANK YOU FROM
EVERYONE AT CLASSÉ

Thank you for purchasing the Classé OMEGA
SACD2.

We take great pride in offering components
that combine exceptional sonic performance
and long-term reliability. As with all Classé
components, your SACD2 benefits from the
investment we’ve made in extraordinary
design and manufacturing facilities. We trust
that you will enjoy your purchase for many
years to come.

CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

All of our components benefit from the same
rigorous design goal: All Classé products
must reproduce music with the harmonic and
spatial integrity typical of fine instruments
heard in a live, unamplified performance.

Single Circuit Design

To this end, we make extensive use of
carefully optimized versions of the same basic
circuit precisely matched to specific power
requirements. This means that all Classé line
level components and power amplifiers
benefit from years of refinement. However,
our efforts do not stop here.

Listening: The Critical Design Element

Once we determine general circuit values for
a particular application, we listen carefully
while exchanging and mixing different parts
(transistors, capacitors, wiring, PC boards,
etc.) and adjusting specific operating voltages
within proper engineering ranges.

Extended Real-World Lifespan

Every Classé component, even the most
affordable, benefits from our painstaking
approach to design parameters. The result is
an optimum balance between the often-
conflicting demands of exceptional perfor-
mance and long-term reliability. Our most
expensive components gain from even tighter
tolerance parts and highly segmented and
exceptionally robust power supplies with
large reserve-current capabilities.

Our Pride in Manufacturing, Your Pride in
Ownership

We build all of our components to the
highest possible standards. From multi-layer
glass-epoxy circuit boards, the full sized
power-supplies, and the massive faceplates,
every Classé product is a tribute to both the
science and art of sound reproduction. We
hope that you derive as much pleasure and
satisfaction in using your Classé as we did in
producing it.
