12 RS-232 Control Port
This port has two purposes:
downloading new operating software into your surround
processor (should new features ever be added).
external control of your surround processor by systems such as
i-Command
, AMX
®
and Crestron
™.
For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home
automation systems.
13 IR Input: Main and Zone
Your Classé surround processor includes two 1/8th-inch
mono mini-
jacks to support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous
today. Infrared commands exist (for example) for
toggling the surround
processor between operate
and standby, in addition to discrete command
codes for either operate or standby. These codes may be used in “macros”
for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the
surround processor in the larger context of a complete system.
The SSP-600 has two separate IR inputs, one for the MAIN system and
one that addresses only the functions of the remote ZONE
. IR commands
routed to either input will be interpreted as intended to affect only that
section of the SSP-600.
For example, if you send a command to change the input to the DVD
player, routing it to the ZONE IR IN, only the remote ZONE
will change
to the DVD input. The
MAIN system will be unaffected.
The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex
macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this
capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with
your authorized Classé dealer.
The surround processor is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Vdc,
with the tip of the mini-plugs defined to be positive relative to the shank of
the plug.
Note: The Classe Delta series IR inputs respond to an “idle-high, active-
low” signal. Please ensure that any third party IR control systems are
configured accordingly.
