REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
The CDP-88 compact disk player is equipped with both BALANCED and REGULAR RCA
(single ended) analog outputs. Connecting the CDP-88 to your audio system requires a pair of
BALANCED or REGULAR RCA type interconnects and the supplied AC power cord. The CDP-88 is
also equipped with a BALANCED (AES/EBU) data output connector. To use this output, you require a
balanced cable and an AES/EBU input connector on your digital processor. Refer to Fig. 1 on page 10
for visual aid.
A NOTE ABOUT THE CONNECTING CABLES:
The overall performance of the CD PLAYER will vary dramatically with the quality and type of
cables chosen. Selection of the highest quality digital output cables combined with proper output
interconnects is recommended for maximum performance of the Classé CDP-88.
AC LINE INPUT
In addition to the analog and digital outputs, the remaining connection on the rear panel of the
CDP-88 is the AC input connector. Connect the supplied AC power cord to this input. As the
CAUTION section on the previous page indicates, it is always a wise PRECAUTION to connect all
interconnect cables before attaching the AC power cords.
