3.2.3 SYSTEM SETUP

This is another comprehensive setup section where

the overall system performance is set. Here is

where the theater system is matched to the

room characteristics and over-all listener taste

is appreciated. You will be asked to select in

turn Speaker setup, Delay setup, Balance setup,

Subwoofer limit and Feature setup. The purpose is

to define the operating character of the overall

system, and to enable the system to sound as

natural as possible in the room it is set up in. In

Speaker setup you are able to define the size and

number of speakers in the room.

In Delay Setup you are able to define the distance

the speakers are from each other as well as how

far they are from the ideal listening position.

We have provided a microphone to make this

procedure automatic.

In Balance setup you are asked to measure the

sound pressure level of the different speakers and

to set them to an approximate balance with each

other. Measurements are made at the preferred

listening position. We have provided a microphone

to make this procedure automatic. You can even

use the microphone to set input sensitivity for

analog and digital inputs.

Subwoofer Limit may be utilized to protect the

subwoofer from being overdriven by what may be

excessive amounts of low frequency information.

Feature setup gives you the opportunity to setup

the internal noise generator (used during Balance

setup), to define which language the screen should

communicate in, to reset to factory specifications,

and to see which software version is currently

installed on the processor.

3.2.4 MEMORY

You must these settings as you progress step-by-

step through the configuration process so that

an interruption will not result in lost effort.

We recommend you make a written copy

of all configuration choices to facilitate

future modifications.

So, that’s the overview of the SSP-75. In the

following sections of the manual we give you

some good advice on everything from getting

it safely out of the box to fully enjoying it in

the years to come.

SECTION 4:

GETTING STARTED

4.1 UNPACKING THE SSP-75

Your Classé SSP-75 is packed in high-density foam

inside a special cardboard container. To remove

the unit, carefully open and spread the box flaps.

(There are heavy duty staples under each end of

the lengthwise tape) Remove the two top foam

piece(s) and then carefully remove the SSP-75 itself.

Be careful with it while it is still covered in the

protective plastic, insuring that you do not rest it

on it’s front or rear, as possible damage to knobs

and connectors can occur. Put it down carefully

on a flat, soft surface. Take it out of the heavy

plastic bag and place the SSP-75 on a sturdy

surface. Carefully inspect it and report any

concealed damage to your dealer immediately.

In addition, look for the following accessories:

1) The Owner’s Manual (which, because you’re

reading it now, you’ve already found!)

2) One detachable AC power cord.

3) One remote control handset (with hex key

and two AAA batteries).

4) One Microphone (with 25’ cable and one

AA battery).

We strongly recommend that you save the

shipping carton and foam inserts. The REQUIRED

replacements are expensive to purchase from us.

The packaging was designed to protect the SSP-75

under almost all circumstances and will be very

useful in protecting the valuable electronic

instrument if you move or need to ship the

unit for any reason.

4.2 OPTIMAL PLACEMENT

Carefully locate the SSP-75. Follow the preceding

safety precautions (Page 3, of this manual)

regarding exposure to heat and moisture. In

addition, we do not recommend placing the

SSP-75 in direct sunlight. Stable, high-strength

shelving or equipment racks specifically designed

for audio/video components are best.

Place the SSP-75 close enough to other

components to allow convenient connection.

This is especially true for source components where

shorter cable runs are best. However, we do not

recommend closely stacking the SSP-75 with other

components, especially tuners, as they may be

affected by radio-frequency emissions from the

SSP-75’s microprocessor array.

Allow at least four inches of free space behind the

SSP-75 to accommodate interconnect cables, power

cords, etc. Four inches of unobstructed free space

above the SSP-75’s chassis cover will allow sufficient

air circulation to dissipate the small amount of heat.

Isolate power amplifiers as much as possible to

avoid the magnetic fields often generated by their

large power-supply transformers. The SSP-75’s

high current output stage is virtually immune to

problems sometimes encountered when the power

amplifiers are far away at the end of long cable

runs. Where you have a choice, we recommend

long interconnects and short speaker cables.

We also do not recommend placing the processor

near power amplifiers because they produce heat.

4.3 VENTILATION

CAUTION: Ventilation is very important. We do not

recommend attempting to operate the SSP-75 if

the ambient temperature exceeds 100 degrees F.

There are components inside which produce heat.

If there is insufficient ventilation around the chassis

the processor will overheat and may act erratically

until they cool. Any cabinet should have adequate

airflow to allow warm air to leave and cooler air

to enter. Positive ventilation is required in some

installations due to the amount of heat generated

by all the associated electronics.
