CLASSÉ AUDIO CDP-1.5 CD PLAYER CDP-1.
CLASSÉ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 1. REPEATED LISTENING DESIGN SESSIONS: Fine tuning the sound by exchanging and mixing different parts (transistors, capacitors, wiring, PCB boards etc.), and adjusting many specific operating voltages within proper engineering ranges, has allowed us to produce an overall sonic recipe giving the most natural harmonic realism of music typical of instruments in a live performance. 2.

1. UNPACKING AND ACCESSORIES: The Classé CDP-1.5 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-1.5 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.
A.C. LINE POWER The ON/OFF (POWER) switch on the CDP-1.5 is located on the front panel of the unit, at the left, besides the CD drawer. While thoroughly musical shortly after turn-on, the CDP-1.5 will exhibit "sonic growth" for the first 300 hours of use. For optimum sonic performance, you should consider use of the optional CLASSÉ REFERENCE A.C. LINE CORD. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory. CAUTION: "FLOATING THE GROUND” OR DEFEATING THE GROUND ON A 3-PRONG LINE CORD MAY CREATE A SHOCK HAZARD.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND FUNCTIONS The CDP-1.5 compact disk player is equipped with both BALANCED and REGULAR RCA (single ended) analog outputs. Connecting the CDP-1.5 to your audio system requires a pair of BALANCED or REGULAR RCA type interconnects and the supplied AC power cord. The CDP-1.5 is also equipped with a SINGLE ENDED (S/PDIF) and BALANCED (AES/EBU) data output connector.
DISPLAY, FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS 1. FUNCTIONS: The front panel of the CDP-1.5 has eight buttons that perform all the basic necessary functions. The remote control contains all the basic functions found on the front panel (except the LOAD and POWER buttons) as well as all advanced programming features. POWER: Press this button to turn the unit ON or OFF. LOAD: Press this button once to open the disk tray. Pressing it again will close the tray. PREVIOUS (½): Pressed once during playback, the CDP-1.
In addition to all the above functions, the remote handset of the CDP-1.5 contains the following additional functions. NUMERIC KEYPAD (digits 0 through 9): This is a convenient alternative to the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. Pressing the desired track number on the numeric keypad is usually faster than the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. For example, if you just inserted a disk and wish to play track 8, pressing 8 followed by PLAY is easier than pressing the NEXT button eight times, and then PLAY.
2. DISPLAY INFORMATION AND VARIOUS MODES OF OPERATION: (Continued) track using the NEXT (¾) and/or PREVIOUS (½) buttons, or with the numeric keypad on the remote control. Then press PLAY. The disk will play from that point on until the end of the disk. While playing, the display will show each track currently playing along with the elapsed time from the beginning of that track. Once the disk is over, the CDP-1.5 will return to STOP mode. Playback of only selected tracks You can program the CDP-1.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The Classé CDP-1.5 compact disk player is high quality unit utilizing the latest innovations in digital audio reproduction. The philosophy behind the CDP-1.5 is advanced technology for extracting the maximum musical performance, but also embraces the time proven idea of simplicity, in accordance with the saying "simpler is better." No effort has been spared in the development of the CDP-1.5.
There is a single SPDIF single-ended digital output on an RCA connector. A final technical highlight of the CDP-1.5 is the custom remote handset. It features an exceptionally wide transmission angle to the IR receiver on the CDP-1.5, and is engineered to last an extremely long time. The CDP-1.5 features an HDCD decoder that, in addition to allowing full HDCD decoding, functions as a state of the art 8X oversampling filter if the input data is not encoded in HDCD format. The CDP-1.
Great care has been used throughout the design and layout of the CDP-1.5 to meet FCC class B requirements. This will ensure that the CDP-1.5 will be insensitive to noisy components in a system, and in turn will not cause harmful interference to other components. Every CDP-1.5 undergoes rigorous computerized testing that measures each critical performance parameter, and is burned in for several days to ensure the consistency of performance over time.
