Unpacking and Placement
unpacking your
surround processor
Carefully unpack your surround processor according to the supplied instructions, and
remove all accessories from the carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your Classé product.
Shipping your new component in anything other than its purpose-
designed packing material may result in damage that is not covered by
the warranty.
placement As with any surround processor, it is best to place the SSP-600 centrally within your
system, since it is the hub to which all other components are connected. It should also
be located at a convenient height for both visibility and use, since you generally interact
with your surround processor more than any other component (changing inputs,
adjusting volume, etc.).
Note that adequate clearance for the AC cord and connecting cables must be
left behind the SSP-600. We suggest leaving eight inches (20 cm) of free space
behind your surround processor to allow all cables sufficient room to bend
without crimping or undue strain.
Classé recommends that the unit not be placed directly on the top surface of a power
amplifier (or any other heat source).
ventilation Your Classé surround processor generates a certain amount of heat in the course of
normal operation. Be sure to allow three inches of clearance above it and three inches
to each side to allow heat dissipation through air circulation. Avoid placement on soft
surfaces that would restrict airflow (such as plush carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and custom
cabinetry (see the section Dimensions). An optional, purpose-designed rack mount kit is
available for this product. Contact your Classé dealer for more information.
serial number The serial number for your surround processor is found on the rear of the unit. Please
note and record this number on the page entitled Important Safety Instructions for your
future reference.
register your purchase! Having found the serial number, now would be a good time to fill out the registration
card. Please register your purchase so we can advise you of updates and other items of
interest.
It will take only a minute or so. Please complete the card now, before you forget.

warm up/break-in period Your new Classé surround processor 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 surround
processor reaches thermal equilibrium and the capacitors fully form. After this initial
break-in period, the performance of your new product should remain quite consistent
for years to come.
The only exception to this rule is if the unit is unplugged for an extended period of time,
allowing it to cool down. Depending on the degree of cooling involved, you should
expect a brief warm-up period before the surround processor’s sound quality is at its best.
Unless your surround processor was allowed to become quite chilled, subsequent thermal
re-stabilization should not take long. Fortunately, you should never have to repeat the
initial 300 hour break-in period.
please read this manual… Please take a few minutes to review this manual, and to familiarize yourself with your
new surround processor. We understand that you are anxious to plug everything in and
get started. However, reading this manual and following the advice it gives will ensure
that you get all the benefits you deserve from having purchased such a fine piece of
equipment.

Operating Voltage
The SSP-600 surround processor is set at the factory (internally) for 100V, 120V, 230V,
or 240V AC mains operation, as appropriate for the country in which it is to be sold.
(230V only in European Union countries, in compliance with CE regulations.) The
voltage setting may not be changed by the user.
Make sure that the label on the rear panel of your surround processor indicates the
correct AC operating voltage for your location. Attempting to operate your surround
processor at an incorrect voltage may damage the unit.
Warning: The voltage setting of your surround processor may not be changed by
the user. There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit. Please refer
any problems to an authorized Classé service center.
If the AC mains voltage indicated on your surround processor is incorrect, please contact
your local, authorized Classé dealer or distributor.
The SSP-600 can easily be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line. If other
devices are also powered from the same AC line, their additional power consumption
should be taken into account.
The SSP-600 includes protection circuitry that will prevent the surround processor from
operating at dangerously high or low voltages.
• At startup: the AC mains voltage must be within a range of approximately -15%
to +10% of its nominal value at startup, or the surround processor will not turn
on. For example, a 120V unit requires the AC mains to be between approximately
95V–135V in order to turn on.
• Overvoltage during operation: if the AC mains voltage surges by roughly 10%
or more during operation, the surround processor will enter protection mode and
shut down. The standby LED (Light-Emitting Diode) will flash to indicate the
protection mode has been engaged. An error message will be displayed on the
LCD touchscreen.
• Under-voltage during operation: if the AC mains voltage sags by 15% or
more, the surround processor will continue to play (since this does not present a
particular danger to the surround processor), but note that it may not be able to
achieve its usual standard of performance under these compromised conditions.
The standby LED will flash to indicate the condition.

A Word About Installation
Every effort has been made to make the Classé SSP-600 simple and straightforward to
install and use.
Still, we have no way to evaluate other variables such as the size and shape of your room,
its acoustics, and the associated equipment you have chosen to use with your surround
processor. All of these factors influence the ultimate performance of your system.
For this reason, we strongly encourage you to have your system
installed and calibrated by your dealer, whose experience, training,
and specialized equipment can make a profound difference in the final
performance of the system.
