UNPACKING & SET-UP

 

 
 

 Your 

CLASSÉ 

P-103

 power amplifier is packed in high density, semi-rigid foam placed in a 

special cardboard box. To remove the unit, open and spread all the top flaps of the box and by its 

sides, lift out the entire unit and put it on a large flat surface. Take it out of the plastic bag and 

inspect the unit for any concealed damage. Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the 

following has also been included: 

         1) Detachable linecord 

         2) Allen key for top plate 

Please report any damage or missing parts to your dealer as soon as possible.  

 Place 

the 

P-103

 at or near its final set-up position, allowing 8 inches at the rear for tightening 

the speaker output connectors. For optimum sonic performance, we recommend the optional 

CLASSÉ 

REFERENCE A.C. LINECORD

. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory. 

 

The power transformer in the 

P-103

 is located at the front-center of the unit. Ideally, a few 

feet should separate this area from components which potentially could pick up hum.  These include 

preamplifiers, turntables, and interconnect cables. In terms of providing adequate airspace for 

cooling, a good rule of thumb is to allow 6 inches above and 3 inches on each side of the unit. 

 

Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage. 

The 

P-103

 has one AC line fuse, the rating of which should be as follows: 

 

 

 

   

LINE VOLTAGE

              

FUSE RATING

      

       

  

 

 100 or 120 V.A.C.        6 AMP SLOW BLOW     125 or 250 volts 

     

 

 

  220 or 240 V.A.C.       4 AMP SLOW BLOW      250 volts
