warm up/break-in period Your new Classé disc player will deliver outstanding performance immediately. However, you should expect to hear it improve somewhat as it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components “break-in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the first 300 hours, as the player reaches thermal equilibrium and the capacitors fully form.
Special Design Features flexible GUI The LCD touchscreen on the front panel of your new component supports an extremely flexible and versatile graphical user interface (GUI) while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance. The touchscreen accesses a range of controls that might otherwise require dozens of buttons and knobs on the front panel. Despite this power and flexibility, it remains simple to operate in day-to-day use.
LOAD MENU CDP-202 Front Panel 1 Standby button & LED indicator The front panel Standby button will toggle the player between its fully operational status and a standby mode that leaves the player off, yet ready to respond to system commands via any of the supported control options (e.g. IR input, DC trigger, CAN-Bus, or RS-232). The current state of the player is indicated by the LED on the Standby button on the front panel.
2 Menu button Pressing the front panel Menu button will call up the menu system, replacing the normal status display in the LCD touchscreen. 3 LCD touchscreen You may control the player by using the front panel LCD touchscreen. It will usually display the information you are accustomed to seeing on the front of most CD and disc players (track number, time, etc.), as well as the basic transport controls.
0 / 23 4 5 1 6 7 Rear Panel 1 using the balanced outputs Analog Outputs The front left and right channels are supported with both balanced analog outputs on XLR connectors and single-ended analog outputs on RCA connectors. If your preamplifier/processor has balanced inputs for the front left and right channels, connect these XLR outputs to them using high quality balanced interconnects. Your Classé dealer can provide assistance in selecting appropriate balanced cables for your system.
The 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 These pin assignments are consistent with the standards adopted by the Audio Engineering Society. using the single-ended (RCA) analog outputs Outputs are also provided in a high quality single-ended form on RCA plugs.
coaxial digital output The coaxial digital output provides a digital audio signal via a 75Ω coaxial cable equipped with RCA-type connectors. Connect this output to a corresponding coaxial digital input on your preamplifier/processor. AES/EBU digital output The AES/EBU output provides a digital audio signal via a 110Ω balanced cable equipped with XLR-type connectors. Connect this output to a corresponding AES/EBU digital input on your preamplifier/processor.
Note: Many IR repeater systems do not yet support the strippedcarrier signal format required by your disc player. If yours does not, a Delta IR Interface may be required to ensure compatibility between your IR repeater system and your Delta-series Classé equipment. Your dealer can assist you in designing an effective IR repeater system. The player is designed to respond to IR commands of 5VDC, with the tip of the mono mini-jacks defined to be “positive” relative to the shank of the plug.
7 RS-232 Control Port This port has two purposes: • downloading new operating software into your player (should new features ever be added, for example) • external control of your preamplifier by systems such as i-Command™, AMX® and Crestron™ For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems. 8 Danger! AC Mains Power Switch The main power switch is located at the right side of the rear panel. The player should be in standby mode before being switched off.
The Remote Control 34!.$"9 ).&/ $)30,!9 ://- !.',% !5$)/ 02/' 4)-% 35"4)4,% Your new disc player comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the disc player and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The keys are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.
• Time cycles through the four time display modes: time elapsed on track time elapsed on disc time remaining on track time remaining on disc • Prog (for Program) allows you to quickly and easily create a programmed sequence of tracks (or chapters) to be played on the current disc. Pressing Prog will take you directly to the program page of the menu system, regardless of where you might be.
• Disc Menu presents the menu of available chapters, within whatever title you are watching at the moment. (See explanation of DVD menus in this section.) • Title gives you a list of available “titles” on the disc you are watching. (See explanation of DVD menus in this section.) • Up/Down/Left/Right keys allow you to move within a particular menu screen, changing the highlighted item up/down/ left/right as you like, from the comfort of your chair.
5 System Controls The remote control can also be programmed to perform user defined functions through the Fkeys. • F1/F2/F3/F4 keys are available for controlling features not covered by the other buttons on the remote control. You are able to choose what the disc player does when it receives the infrared signal from a particular Fkey. The list of possible functions is quite extensive, and is found in the menu system (see The Menu System section, of this manual).
Using the CDP-102 and CDP-202 Your disc player includes a versatile touchscreen LCD display which supports both an attractive information display and a flexible menu system. Because of this flexibility, the disc player can present different controls and capabilities when playing a CD, and when playing a DVD. We will present these separately. CD operational menu The operational menu consists of several screens that can be accessed directly from the normal display one sees when playing a CD.
controls menu The controls button on the operational display brings up a menu of controls, including repeat mode, shuffle, time display, and program. repeat mode Pressing the repeat mode button on the controls menu displays a screen on which you may select any of the three repeat modes available: no repeat, repeat track, and repeat disc. (If you have created a program, repeat disc will repeat the program.
DVD operational menu When a DVD is inserted, a different set of controls is displayed. the home screen The home screen for DVDs is presented at left in the graphic above, and contains basic information about where you are within the disc, as well as basic navigation buttons similar to those on your remote control. controls Pressing the controls button in the top right corner of the home screen takes you to the controls screen.
The Menu System The disc player uses its versatile touchscreen display to make a wide variety of setup choices and system defaults readily available. Using these menus, you can easily customize the behavior of your disc player to suit your particular system’s configuration, as well as your personal preferences. main menu system Pressing the Menu button to the left of the LCD touchscreen brings up a comprehensive menu system, the top two levels of which are shown below.
teach IR The disc player has discrete infrared (IR) command codes for all its functions, a list that extends far beyond what is required by normal remote controls. However, many of these functions are critical if you plan to create a customized remote control with macros that take command of your entire system. Without these discrete codes, many of the macros you might want to create will simply not work reliably. The teach IR screen provides a scrolling list of all the available IR codes.
remote Fkeys This button brings up the remote Fkeys menu. The remote control supplied with your Classé product includes four userprogrammable function keys, or “Fkeys.” They are labeled F1, F2, F3, and F4, and are located near the bottom of the remote control. The “remote Fkeys” menu allows you to define how the disc player responds to these Fkey signals. You can use the Fkeys to give you instant access to specific system functions that might otherwise be buried in a menu somewhere.
status The status screen provides several items of information on the currently playing disc, as well as access to information on the software and internal sensors of the disc player. version info The version info button on the status screen takes you to the version information screen. From time to time Classé develops new software that adds features or enhances the operation of the disc player. Each new software version has its own Version Number.
hardware setup 1 Classé Delta Series Products Two or more Classé Delta series products are required, at least one of which must have a touchscreen display. 2 Category 5 Network Cables These are ordinary network cables, commonly used for broadband Internet connections. They should be typical “straight through” cables not the “crossed over” type, and the total required will be one less than the total number of Delta series components in your system.
Any combination of models in any order with SSP-300 or SSP-600. CAN-BUS IN OUT CAN-BUS IN OUT CAN-BUS IN OUT CAN-BUS IN OUT NOTE: Daisy chain may need to be terminated with CAN-Bus Terminator. using CAN-Bus CAN-Bus is controlled via the touchscreen of any Delta series component. There is no master component, so Delta series systems where two or more units have a touchscreen can be controlled through any of the touchscreens. However, it is probably easiest to start using CAN-Bus through just one.
CAN-Bus shared features The following CAN-Bus features are shared by all models. configuration Selecting configuration will present the CAN-Bus configuration screen allowing access to name, global brightness, and global standby features. operate The operate settings allow you to bring the target unit in and out of standby, or mute. This key will be disabled for the unit whose touchscreen you are using to access CAN-Bus.
CAN-Bus model The following CAN-Bus features are model specific. specific features PlayLink This feature is exclusive to Delta series disc players and will only function if the disc player is connected to a CAN-Bus enabled preamp or surround sound processor. When PlayLink is active, pressing play on the disc player will also automatically switch the preamp/processor to a specified input. This means that you can listen to a CD or watch a DVD literally at the touch of a button.
amp info Available for amplifiers only, this screen displays the data provided by the heatsink and AC Module temperature sensors. NOTE: This feature is only accessible when the target amplifier is on. event log Reserved for amplifiers, this feature is a protection circuitry event log which can only be accessed when the target amplifier is in standby. The protection circuit shuts down the amplifier or channel if it overheats or if its output could damage your speakers.
display setup menu The display setup menu allows you to define your preferences for three aspects of the Touchscreen: the brightness of the backlighting, the timeout of the backlighting, and the language used. brightness The brightness setting has three possible values: low, medium, and high. Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light typically found in your listening room while using the system.
If you prefer the display to remain on whenever not in standby, choose the never timeout setting. The lamp in the LCD display was designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute. (Note that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase the life of the lamp.
System Setup Pressing the menu button to the left of the LCD touchscreen, followed by pressing the on screen system setup button, will bring you to a menu system that gives you a wide range of control over how the disc player works both on its own and as a part of your overall system. the system setup menu system There are four submenus that can be accessed from the system setup menu. Each will be covered in turn.
audio delay When a disc has been incorrectly authored, the audio can be out of sync from the video. Audio Delay allows you to compensate for this by inserting a delay that repositions the audio in relation to the video and brings them into sync.
distance The distance setting adjusts the speaker distance settings manually. Simply measure the distance with a tape measure or equivalent, and enter the distance into the menu. The disc player will automatically convert this distance to the appropriate delay, to ensure that you hear the sound from each speaker when you are supposed to hear it, despite the varying distances usually involved. level trims The level trims adjustments adjust the speakers’ levels manually.
aspect ratio You have three choices for the way widescreen movies will be displayed on your television. The choice should be determined by the capabilities of your television as well as your personal preference. • 4:3 — If you have a 4:3 display and prefer to have it filled at all times, the disc player will look for an available 4:3 version of the movie on any disc you insert, and play that version.
subtitle language Similarly, you can establish a preference for the language used in the subtitles. Your choices are English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian. CD autoplay When this button is highlighted, the player will automatically start playback when a CD is inserted. navigation Historically, navigating within a CD and a DVD has worked differently. Specifically, the “fast forward” and “rewind” functions on a CD required you to press and hold the button during the scanning process.
Updating Your Unit From time to time Classé designs new software that will enhance the performance of your component. Updating your unit with the latest software is a matter of downloading a file from the Classé website (www.classeaudio.com) so it is worth ensuring that your component is fully updated. Details of the software your player is running can be found on the Version Information Screen.
Troubleshooting In general, refer any service problems to your Classé dealer. Before contacting your dealer, however, check to see if the problem is listed here. If it is, try the suggested solutions. If none of these solves the problem, contact your Classé dealer. 1 My disc is skipping. Gently clean the disc itself using a damp, soft cloth, wiping along the radius of the disc rather than around the circumference. (Cleaning discs in the manner minimizes the chance of damaging the disc.
4. The disc is spinning but there is no sound in one or both channels. Check that both interconnect cables are properly connected between the outputs of the disc player and the inputs of your preamplifier. Ensure that the preamplifier/amplifier units being used are properly configured. (You may need to consult those units’ owner’s manuals for more information.) 5. The screen shows an error message and the Eject button does not eject the disc (or the player shows some other anomalous behavior).
Care & Maintenance To remove dust from the cabinet of your disc player, use a feather duster or a lint-free soft cloth. To remove dirt and fingerprints, we recommend isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth. Dampen the cloth with alcohol first and then lightly clean the surface of the player with the cloth. Do not use excessive amounts of alcohol that might drip off the cloth and into the player. Caution! 44 Downloaded From Disc-Player.
