V1.0

SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION: Please read and observe all warnings

and instructions in this owner’s manual and all those marked on the unit. Retain this owner’s manual for future reference.

1. Do Not Open the CD/DVD-1 for any reason,

as there are no user serviceable parts inside. An open unit, particularly if it is still connected to an AC source, presents a potentially lethal shock hazard. Refer all questions to authorized service personnel only. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.

2. Do Not Defeat AC ground. Do not remove any

of the connectors on the AC plug. Do not attempt to defeat the ground connection with a ‘cheater plug’ or a 3-wire to 2-wire plug. If you attempt to defeat the ground connection you may cause a lethal injury to yourself or others.

3. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose

the CD/DVD-1 to water or moisture.

4. Do not place the CD/DVD-1 close to any heat-

producing device such as your audio amplifier(s), and also keep it away from direct sunlight, a radiator, stove, etc.

5. Connect the CD/DVD-1 only to an AC source of

the proper voltage. The shipping container and the rear panel serial number tag will stipulate the proper voltage. Use of any other voltage will almost certainly damage the unit and will void the warranty.

6. If the CD/DVD-1 will be out of use for an

extended period of time (vacation, etc.), you may wish to unplug the power cord from the AC source to prevent any chance of problems from a voltage surge or lightning strike. (See section 1.4).

7. Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as

it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury. Do not place anything other than a CD or DVD in the disc tray, as any other object may permanently damage the mechanism.

8. This player contains a Laser: Do not look into

the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser beam, because the laser beam may cause permanent damage to your eyes.

9. Do not place a heavy object on or step on the

player.

10.Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired

disc. CD and DVD discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal injury and product malfunction.

THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE AT CLASSÉ

Thank you for purchasing the Classé Audio CD/DVD-1 CD/DVD player.

We take great pride in offering components that combine exceptional sonic performance and longterm reliability. To do that, we have invested 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 performance 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.

The Classé CD/DVD-1 Compact Disc and Digital Video (or Versatile) Disc Player and Transport is a simple and intuitive piece which simultaneously delivers analog and digital audio output, along with Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video output. It makes Music out of data. It makes Movies out of data. The CD/DVD-1 is the high quality Digital beginning of any audio and home theater installation. It will sound and work best in your system when used with other high end products, such as those from Classé. Classé has a powerful selection of Surround Sound Processors, single, dual and multi channel Power Amplifiers, and an equally strong selection of Tuners, CD players, and SACD players (2001 release).

This owners manual will make it possible for you to set up the CD/DVD-1 and begin using it only a very few minutes after you take it out of the box. The first section sets out the precautions which should be taken when first setting it up, and the second section details how to plug in the Digital, Analog Audio and Video cables into your Surround Processor and/or TV (Projector). The most difficult part of the set-up will be attaching all the wires.

Classé recommends labeling each and every input or output wire in your entire Music/Theater system, including even the AC cables. When you’ve done this you will know what equipment is connected at each end. Labeling is a simple task which takes a little extra time, but it can save hours of effort if you ever want to change anything, even a single piece of wire.

We feel it is a good idea to make a chart of all the associated equipment and how you want to attach everything together. Even a simple penciled flow chart will make your task go faster with fewer hook up errors. You can keep the chart for later reference when you want to add or subtract equipment to the system.

APPENDIX A

RC5 Codes for CD/DVD-1 and Processors 14-15

SECTION 1.0: GETTING STARTED, TAKING PRECAUTIONS

This manual attempts to explain the full operation of this CD/DVD player, but some DVD video discs may have functions that may not be fully explained. There may be extra instructions on the Disc or on the packaging the Disc came in. Some Disc instructions may be different from instructions in this manual. To use the available functions it may be necessary to follow the instructions displayed on the TV screen or on the packaging.

1.1 UNPACKING THE CD/DVD-1

Your Classé CD/DVD-1 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 top foam piece(s) and then carefully remove the CD/DVD-1 itself. Be Careful with it while it is still covered in the protective plastic, insuring that you do not rest it on its 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 CD/DVD-1 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 two

AAA batteries).

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 CD/DVD-1 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.

1.2 OPTIMAL PLACEMENT

Carefully locate the CD/DVD-1. Follow the preceding Safety Precautions (Page 3 of this manual) regarding exposure to heat and moisture. (Also see 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5). In addition, we do not recommend placing the CD/DVD-1 in direct sunlight.

Stable, high-strength shelving or equipment racks specifically designed for audio/video components are best for safety and convenience.

Place the CD/DVD-1 close enough to a Surround processor and/or preamplifier or DAC to allow convenient connection. Shorter cable runs are best. Do not ‘stretch’ or strain cables, as the cables or connectors may be permanently damaged.

We do not recommend closely stacking the CD/DVD-1 with other components, especially tuners, which may be affected by radio-frequency emissions from the CD/DVD-1’s microprocessor array.

Allow at least four inches of free space behind the CD/DVD-1 to accommodate interconnect cables, power cords, etc. Four inches of unobstructed free space above the CD/DVD-1’s chassis cover will allow sufficient air circulation to dissipate the small amount of heat. Do not put the player directly on a rug or other soft surface.

Isolate power amplifiers from the CD/DVD-1 as much as possible to avoid the excessive heat which is produced by the amplifiers, and from the magnetic fields often generated by their large power-supply transformers.

1.3 VENTILATION AND PROPER OPERATING ENVIRONMENT CAUTION: Ventilation is very important. (Also see

1.4, below). We do not recommend attempting to operate the CD/DVD-1 if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (100°F). There are components inside which produce heat. If there is insufficient ventilation around the chassis the processors will overheat and may act erratically until allowed to cool. Any cabinet should have adequate airflow to allow warm air to leave and cooler room air to enter. Positive Ventilation is required in some installations due to the heat generated by the nearby electronics.

Do not attempt to use the player if it has been stored at or below -20°C (0°F). Allow it to warm up. Put the CD/DVD-1, uncovered, in a warm room until it nears room temperature, then plug it in and allow it to warm up further for two or more hours. (See 1.4 below).

1.4 MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may have occurred. Damaging Moisture Condensation on the laser or mechanical parts can occur when you use the DVD player in a cool room where you just turned on the heat. It may also occur if the air conditioning directly hits the unit, or if when you attempt to use the DVD player in a hot and humid room just after you move the unit from the cold or from an air conditioned room. Condensation may be present when you use the DVD player in a damp place such as a cellar room.

To dry any condensation which may have occurred, connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD player and leave it ON for two or three hours. Do not attempt to insert a disc. If a disc is already in the player, remove it at once. After two or three hours, the DVD player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. To prevent moisture condensation Classé recommends keeping the DVD player connected to a live wall outlet and keeping the unit in a standby mode at all times.

1.5 PLACEMENT BEHIND CABINET DOORS

Be sure there is enough space between the unit and the cabinet doors when opening the disc carrier when using the remote control. Damage to the player may result if the disc carrier attempts to open against a closed door.

1.6 SHIPPING OR MOVING

Remove any CD or DVD from the carrier when moving the CD/DVD-1. Whether you are just sliding it over, or putting it on another shelf or taking it to a friend’s house, it is very important to remember to remove any media which may be in the player. Also do not under any circumstances leave a disc in the player when shipping the player.

SECTION 2.0: CONNECTING THE CD/DVD-1

Use the diagram below to follow the discussion regarding input and output connections.

SAFETY NOTE: Before you begin work we very strongly advise that all associated electronic equipment be unplugged from the AC outlets. They should at least be switched off with the AC switch (NOT in Standby). Failure to follow the above advice can (usually WILL) result in damage to speakers and to electronics and perhaps to you.

(RCA-style cables should be rotated (twisted) slightly as you insert them into (or remove them from,) the appropriate jack. (Be careful: do not accidentally attach a Video output to an Audio input, or vice versa. Also be sure the Digital outputs are connected only to Digital Inputs and that Analog Outputs are only connected to Analog Inputs.

The CD/DVD-1 has a complete and well-thoughtout panel of connections, enough for even a complex audio and theater system. You can use more than one Digital Audio Output at the same time, and you can use Digital and Analog outputs simultaneously. You also may use all three of the Video outputs at the same time, if you wish to.

For the very best Video picture we recommend you utilize the Component Video Outputs on the CD/DVD-1 and the same high quality inputs on you Monitor, Video Scaler or other Video processor. S-Video will also give you an excellent picture, especially if you keep the interconnect relatively short. Component Video is best for long runs.

The best Audio connection, for both CD and DVD, is likely to be one of the Digital Outputs. If, however you have any doubts, it might be well worth your time to listen to both the Digital Outputs and the Analog outputs for listening to CD. The Classé Design Team has worked very hard to make the CD/DVD-1 a very High End CD Player, as well as DVD player. The Analog Outputs may have a higher quality signal than if you connect digital to your Surround Processor.

Something to remember: DVD Video discs are usually copy protected. Not only can you not copy a DVD, you will get a distorted picture If you even connect the DVD player to a VCR, and the VCR to a TV Monitor.

Following are the descriptions of the Outputs available on the CD/DVD-1.

2.1 VIDEO OUTPUTS

2.1.1 COMPONENT VIDEO

For best picture quality use the Component Video Outputs and inputs on your Surround Processor, especially if you will be switching pictures from this and another Source which has Component Video capability. (Be certain you correctly connect the three different Component Video outputs to the same labeled inputs; all manufacturers do not use the same colour scheme). Requires a true 75Ω cable and connector.

You may wish to utilize a ‘Line Doubler’ or Video Scaler. The best picture is gained by making fewer connections and inserting fewer switches in the Video pathway. Classé generally recommends you use the Doubler or Scaler as the switcher, and connect from them directly to your video monitor, bypassing the video switching in a Surround Processor.

2.1.2 S-VIDEO

S-Video requires a special connector at each end of the cable, and you get best picture quality from a short run of cable. However, S-Video will provide a very high quality picture. If you do not have a Component Video capability on your current Video Monitor and you are choosing between Composite and S-Video, S-Video is well worth any extra expense. Care is required when inserting the small connectors; there are several small pins which can be easily damaged.

2.1.3 CVBS OR COMPOSITE VIDEO

Composite Video is a straightforward coaxial connector with a coaxial cable. Classé recommends gold to gold connections and a true 75Ω connector and cable. For best quality picture you should not use cables intended for carrying analog audio signals, although they will certainly work in a pinch.

2.2 DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUTS

2.2.1 TOSLINK WARNING: Do not look into the back panel TosLink

output connector, or into the TosLink cable output end; high energy laser light is present and may seriously damage your eyes. Toslink is a high quality digital connection. Care is required with the cable as the connectors and the cable between them are plastic and may kink or break. Kinked or broken cable should be discarded. Be sure to push the connectors all the way into their sockets.

2.2.2 AES/EBU

This is generally recognized as providing the highest quality Digital connection. It utilizes 110 ohm shielded cables with a sturdy shielded and grounded three pin XLR connector at each end. If your Surround Processor is a Classé then you can use this superior sounding connector. Be sure the connectors are pushed all the way in and are locked.

2.2.3 COAXIAL

This is a high quality and rugged connection. Classé recommends making only gold to gold connections, using true 75 ohm coaxial connectors and cable. Much of the coaxial wire and connectors available are actually 50 ohm cables, which can prevent a perfect match between the Player and the Processor. Be sure the cable is not kinked or even bent sharply.

2.3 ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS

2.3.1 BALANCED CONNECTIONS

Like AES/EBU above, this connector is strong, shielded and grounded. The connection is a push pull design utilizing a twisted pair of wires (carrying the audio signal) shielded inside a wrap of braided wires which are drained to ground. This connection prevents electrical interference from other equipment. When properly made and used this particular method of construction also prevents ‘ground looping’ between the connected pieces of equipment.

2.3.2 COAXIAL CONNECTIONS

Coaxial connections for analog audio are very popular. They provide an easy to use interface, and when properly constructed, they provide an excellent sounding and durable connection.

2.4 A.C. CONNECTIONS

2.4.1 AC CABLE

Many owners upgrade to Classé’s higher quality AC Cables. No matter which AC cable you use, you should be sure to use a three wire AC cable, and to plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet. Also, It never hurts to check the grounding and polarity of the wall outlets you are using for your Audio/Video system.

SECTION 3.0: CD/DVD-1 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND DISPLAY

The CD/DVD-1 is easy and intuitive to operate. The nine buttons on the Front Panel of the Player/Transport give you the options you need to generally turn it on and use it successfully day after day. There are DVDs with multiple Audio Tracks which will require the use of the remote, but usually you only have to insert a CD or DVD and press play. Using the pictures in this section and the descriptions we will quickly outline the buttons specific functions, beginning with the left-most control.

3.1 FRONT PANEL BUTTONS

3.1.1 LOAD BUTTON

The LOAD button opens the Disc Carrier when it is closed and closes it when it is open. Pressing LOAD with a CD in the carrier closes the drawer and the CD will begin playing from the first track. Pressing LOAD with a DVD in the tray will close the drawer and the DVD will begin playing from the beginning. The player will pause and wait for user input if there are Program material or Audio format choices to be made. Choices must be made using the Remote Wand. (Section 5.0) You may safely press the LOAD button to eject a disc which is playing, as it will stop spinning before the tray opens. Pressing the LOAD button while the Player is in STANDBY mode will turn on the player and open the drawer. If the unit is fully off (after using the POWER button) the drawer will not open. Also see POWER and PLAY below.

3.1.2 STANDBY LIGHT

A green light is lit when the Player is in Standby Mode. The light is out when it is fully on and playing or ready to play. (The light is also off if the POWER button has been used to turn off the CD/DVD-1).

3.1.3 DISPLAY

See section 3.2 below describing Display.

3.1.4 POWER BUTTON

The POWER button is an AC micro-switch which turns the Player On when it is off and OFF when it is on. If you use this button to turn the Player off the POWER button on the Remote Wand will not turn it on. We suggest you generally leave the unit in STANDBY when you are not using it, to keep it warmed up. If you wish to you may use this button to turn it fully off when you will not be using it for an extended time. Remove any CD or DVD before turning off the player.

3.1.5 JUMP BUTTONS

The

|<< and the >>|

buttons are used to jump to the

|<< chapter in a DVD or the previous track

on a CD or to jump forward >>

| to the next

chapter on a DVD or next track on a CD. You usually can not jump past the ‘No Copying’ warning when playing a DVD movie.

3.1.6 HDCD LIGHT

The HDCD Light automatically alerts you to the fact the current CD is being played with HDCD resolution. HDCD detection is always on.

3.1.7 STOP BUTTON

The STOP button stops the currently playing CD or DVD. No picture appears. Pressing the STOP button while the Player is in STANDBY mode will turn on the player.

3.1.8 PLAY BUTTON

The PLAY button starts a CD or DVD that has been stopped or paused. You may press PLAY to close the carrier tray and begin playing an inserted CD or DVD. Pressing the PLAY button after pressing the STOP button starts the CD or DVD over from the beginning of the program material on the Disc. Pressing PLAY after pausing a CD or DVD causes the player to start playing from the point at which PAUSE was pressed. Pressing the PLAY button while the Player is in STANDBY mode will turn on the player.

3.1.9 PAUSE BUTTON

The PAUSE button halts a CD in place. The music will stop, but will restart at once where it left off when PLAY is pressed. After pausing, pressing a |<< or >>| button will jump back to the beginning of the current track or forward to the beginning of the next, but the player will remain Paused. Pressing PAUSE while a movie is playing will cause the movie to halt in place, leaving a Still picture on screen, and there will be no audio playback. Pressing a |<< or >>| button will jump back to the beginning of the current chapter or forward to the beginning of the next, but the movie will continue to be Paused. Pressing the PAUSE button while the Player is in STANDBY mode will turn on the player. Pressing PAUSE while a disc is paused does not restart a disc.

3.1.10 FAST FORWARD AND REVERSE

The << and >> buttons control the fast reverse (<<) or fast forward (>>) of the currently playing disc. The first press causes the CD or DVD to reverse or play forward at approximately four times normal speed. A second press doubles the speed again. A third press of the button slows to four times again. You must press PLAY to resume normal play.

3.1.11 WAITING FOR INPUT

Only the LOAD and POWER buttons function if the player is waiting for input from the remote wand to select a particular audio format or specific title on a DVD. All other commands must come from the remote control wand.

SECTION 4.0: CD/DVD-1 PANEL DISPLAY INFORMATION

4.1 DISPLAY

The Front Panel Display provides complete information on the current operation of the CD/DVD-1. Though you will likely find you rarely use the information available on the front Panel Display of the CD/DVD-1, the information displayed there can be quite helpful in playing CDs and DVDs. The description numbers on the drawing below are fully described in the next few pages.
