Classe Audio SSP-30 MKII - Manual (Page 8)

A few notes about the SSP-30 MKII and the Set-up
The SSP-30 MKII decodes Dolby Digital EX © , DTS-ES Matrix © and Dolby Pro Logic II ©. It also functions as a high quality
stereo preamplifier. The 7.1 channel input is equipped with comprehensive volume control facilities and ensures that the
SSP-30 MKII will remain compatible with new multi-channel formats as they appear. The SSP-30 MKII also has several
music modes that may be used to enhance a normal stereo signal.
The SSP-30 MKII accepts up to seven digital input sources, eight line-level input sources, plus a tape loop and two
additional record outputs. It has six composite and S-Video inputs, composite and S-Video monitor outputs, composite
and S-video record outputs and an S-Video monitor output without On Screen Display (OSD) for highest quality video
performance.
The SSP-30 MKII has two main modes of operation. In the normal operation mode the SSP-30 MKII automatically senses
the type of the incoming signal and selects the best mode for that signal. The user can over-ride the automatic selection
and select different post-processing modes for the incoming signals. These modes feature a mono down-mix, stereo,
Stereo96, Dolby Pro Logic and four Music modes: Natural, Party, PLII Music and Neo6: Music. The user can bypass the
digital section of the SSP-30 MKII, if desired, and connect, for example, a high quality stereo source to the Left and Right
channels of the 7.1 channel input.
The SSP-30 MKII is supplied with a comprehensive IR remote control.
Options for system integration are provided by RC5 jacks to interface with other Classé products, by the three I2VDC
trigger outputs to control external equipment and can communication with a PC or home automation system via the RS
232 interface.
Installation note
This preamplifier generates a modest amount of heat and thus requires ventilation. Do not place it on a rug or other soft
surface into which it could sink. The SSP-30 MKII should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided. . Do not place another unit on top of the SSP-30 MKII. Do not place the SSP-
30 MKII above a unit that generates heat.
CAUTION: To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not permit this product to become wet. If liquid is accidentally spilled
on it, unplug the AC cord it from the wall. Allow sufficient time for then SSP-30 MKII to completely dry out before
attempting to operate it again. If the spilled liquid is anything but clear water and/or alcohol, a qualified service
technician should examine the processor before it is used again.
Do not remove the cover, or attempt to modify or repair the processor yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified
technician.
