CAN-Bus
CAN-Bus Classé’s Controller Area Network, or CAN-Bus, allows communication and
control between similarly featured Classé
components. When the amplier
is connected with other CAN-Bus-equipped Class
é
components, the dierent
elements in the system are in constant communication, creating a “global”
network that delivers system wide status information and shared operational
features, all through the preamp/processor’s touchscreen display.
Note that some components will require a software update to recognize the
Delta STEREO on the CAN-Bus. Check the Classé website periodically for
updates.
features CAN-Bus will allow a
Class
é touchscreen to:
• Display status information for every connected unit, including
ampliers which do not have a touchscreen display.
• Create a “PlayLink” that allows an SSP or Preamp to automatically
switch to the correct input when a Delta series source component
starts playback.
• Adjust the global system brightness.
• Congure the entire system to go in and out of standby at the touch
of a button and also bring individual components in and out of
standby.
• Mute any connected unit.

connections. ey should be typical “straight through” cables not the “crossed
over” type, and the total required will be one less than the total number of
CAN-Bus equipped components in your system.
3 CAN-Bus Terminator
A single CAN-Bus Terminator may be required. It is inserted into the
CAN-Bus OUT connector of the last component in the CAN-Bus daisy
chain. One is
included in the box with your amplier. T
