11 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-300 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-300.
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.
12 DC Trigger Outputs
Many audio/video components can supply a DC control voltage to
associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior.
Two

th-inch mono mini-jacks provide individually controllable DC
trigger outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as
described in
The Menu System . For example, your dealer can program
Trigger Out1 to toggle your Classé power amplifier between operate and
standby with your SSP-300.
The trigger outputs will create a 12Vdc signal that can support up to
100mA of current.
