SAFETY PRECAUTIONS INTRODUCTION WARNING: failure to comply with these safety instructions can cause serious injury or death, or cause your Classé Omega SACD Player to be severely damaged or destroyed. Congratulations Congratulations on your new purchase. From all of us at Classé, we hope you enjoy many years of musical satisfaction from your new Classé Omega SACD Player. Do not operate the Classé Omega SACD Player with any portion of the chassis removed or open.
DAC Section The digital to analog conversion circuitry is a completely new design by Classé Audio. This unique design utilizes six channels of the Crystal CS4397 delta-sigma converter. For each of the Omega SACD balanced outputs, two channels of this DAC are used, one for the positive signal and one for the negative. For the single-ended outputs, the remaining two channels are used, one for the right and one for the left.
AC power Check that the AC voltage for which this unit is configured matches your local AC line voltage. The correct operating voltage is indicated on the rear of the power supply chassis, adjacent to the AC power inlet. Operating this unit on AC voltage other than that specified on the rear of the unit can damage or destroy this unit and increase the risk of electric shock. Connect the AC power cord to the rear of the power supply unit and directly to an AC outlet.
CONTROLS AND OPERATION This section describes all of the controls, front panel display, and operation of the Omega SACD Player. Turning on AC power The Omega SACD is turned on by means of a power switch located on the power supply unit. Do not turn the AC power on until all connections have been made. Standby mode If the Omega SACD Player is left idle for more than five minutes, it will automatically enter Standby mode.
Front panel display Below is an illustration of the Omega SACD front panel display and a description of each indicator. The remote control The remote control provides access to all functions available on the front panel. In addition, several functions can only be accessed from the remote control. For instructions on how to use keys that are duplicated on the main-unit top panel, see the instructions in the previous section. For other functions, see complete descriptions on the page number indicated.
Playing a disc After the disc is loaded and the drawer closed, the Omega SACD Player will begin to detect which type of disc has been loaded and read the table of contents. Note that the Omega SACD player takes longer to start playing after the disc is loaded compared to conventional CD players. This is normal operation.
Using the direct access keypad The ten-digit keypad on the remote control can be used to directly access any track on the disc. Press the digits of the track you wish to access. To access a track number greater than 11, press the >10 key, and then enter the two digit track number. Selecting inputs Press the INPUT key on the remote control to select between either of the digital inputs and the internal transport.
Controlling the display The Omega SACD Player display function can be changed using keys on the remote control as follows: Programming Several programming features allow you to listen to tracks in a particular order or repeat tracks. All keys for programming are on the remote control. ON/OFF SHUFFLE Pressing the ON/OFF key will cause the display toggle between ON mode and OFF mode. In OFF mode, the display will remain off unless a key on the top panel or the remote control is pressed.
Using the Omega SACD remote control with other Classé products The Omega SACD Player remote control can be used to control all Classé pre-amplifiers and integrated amplifiers. VOLUME UP/DOWN Pressing these keys will raise or lower the pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier volume level. MUTE Pressing MUTE will cause the pre-amplifier or amplifier output to mute. Pressing either VOLUME UP or DOWN will cause the unit to un-mute. See the owner’s manual for your Classé product for more detailed information.
