1 Tape Input
Connect the analog outputs of any recording device (analog tape recorder,
digital tape recorder, CD recorder, etc.) you may have to these single-ended
RCA connectors. You may select to hear the output of your recording
device by touching the
tape button on the main operational screen of the
CP-500.
2 Single-ended (RCA) inputs
These RCA jacks accept right-channel and left-channel (single-ended)
inputs from line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players,
and tape decks. Any of these inputs may be selected by touching the
corresponding button on the main operational screen of the front panel
touchscreen.
To achieve the best possible results, we suggest that you use only high-
quality shielded interconnect cables. Please consult with your local Classé
dealer for advice on the best cables for use in your system.
optional phono preamp If you have a turntable you would like to use with the system, an optional
phono preamplifier module is available from your Classé dealer. Once
installed in your preamplifier, the
Line 1 input connectors become your
phono inputs, and the phono gain control in the menu system becomes
active, allowing you to select either low gain for all moving-magnet (MM)
and high-output moving-coil (MC) cartridges, or
high gain for standard
output MC cartridges. (See the section The Menu System for more
information.)
3 Ground terminal
The ground terminal on your integrated amplifier is most often used for
the ground wire of a turntable, assuming you have the optional phono
module installed (see your authorized Classé dealer for more information
on this option if you are interested). Connecting the ground wire from
your turntable’s tonearm to this screw terminal usually minimizes any hum
or buzzing to which the turntable might otherwise be susceptible. Your
authorized Classé dealer can assist you in handling this problem if it should
arise.
