separate preamplifier to the AMP input at the

back of the unit.

IR In (and Out)

This will permit you to install an outboard

infrared sensor and therefore be able to control

the CAP-151 remotely from another room where

the outboard IR sensor has been installed. These

connections will be found just below the AC

power inlet at the back of the unit.

OUTPUTS

Preamp Out

The Classé CAP-151 integrated amplifier has a

LINE LEVEL (single-ended) output that can be

used with an external power amplifier. This

output is active at all times, regardless if the

SEPARATE button is activated or not.

Tape Output

Whatever input is selected by the INPUT

SELECTOR will be fed to the TAPE OUTPUT jacks.

This should be connected to the TAPE IN or LINE

IN of the tape deck.

Loudspeaker Output

The Classé CAP-151 is equipped with four pairs

of fully insulated speaker terminals (two for each

channel) which allows to hook up almost all

available types of speaker cable connectors.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

Power

When the unit is first plugged in, a single LED

will be lit on the display to show that the unit is

plugged in. When the POWER button is pressed,

a single LED in the display will flash and the

display will show a 20 second count down as the

unit powers up. During these 20 seconds, there

will be no response to any function selection

except the POWER button, which can be pressed

again to turn off the unit during this sequence.

When the turn on sequence is completed, the

volume level will be at 0, the unit will be muted,

the display will be at Display Full On mode, and

LINE 1 input is selected. Please note that if you

turn off the unit during the 20 second power-up

sequence, you must wait at least 4 seconds to

re-start the power-up sequence.

Input Selector

The input selector has two buttons for selecting

the inputs; (<) and (>). Pressing the < button

selects the input to the Left of the currently

selected input, and pressing the > button selects

the input to the Right of the currently selected

input. If the > button is pressed when BAL1 is

the current input then the LINE 1 input will be

selected, and if the < button is pressed when

LINE 1 is the current input then the BAL1 will

be selected. The < and > buttons will select

from five input connections on the integrated

amplifier, but not TAPE, (see TAPE next page).

Tape

In the SOURCE position, the integrated amplifier

will process the signal as chosen by the INPUT

SELECTOR. In the TAPE position, the preamp will

process the TAPE INPUT signal, over-riding the

INPUT SELECTOR.

Separate

The SEPARATE button literally provides a means

to separate the amplifier and preamplifier

sections of the CAP-151. By engaging the

SEPARATE function, the user can utilise each of

these two parts of the product as independent

components. For example, this would allow you

to use the CAP-151's amplifier along with a

separate crossover and another amplifier in a

bi-amplified system (all current Classé amplifiers

have identical gain, so that this is a perfect

match for use with any other current model

Classé amplifier). Alternately, you might wish

to use an equalizer or other component between

amplifier and preamplifier, the SEPARATE function

allows you complete flexibility in using the CAP-

151 in whatever way you find most convenient

for your own system needs.

This flexibility allows the CAP-151 to be the ideal

building block for a great system today, and an

even more sophisticated system tomorrow. No

matter which position the SEPARATE function is

in, the preamplifier's outputs are always available

(although they are muted at any time the mute

function is activated). The SEPARATE button

controls only the inputs to the main amplifier

section of the CAP-151.

PLEASE NOTE: When the separate function is

activated, the CAP-151 will automatically mute

itself to protect the unit as well as all associated

components. To un-mute the CAP-151, simply

activate the MUTE button and the amplifier's

inputs and preamplifier's outputs will both be

available for use.

Volume Control

The VOLUME CONTROL varies the output level of

both channels simultaneously. It can be operated

by remote using the hand held control unit or

manually turning the control knob at the front

panel. The volume control has a total of 120

steps of level adjustments from 0 to 60 in 0.5

stepped increments.

• When the unit is first plugged in, the display

will count down from 20 to 0. When the

countdown has resumed, the volume will be

automatically at zero (0) and the preamp will

be muted and therefore show MUTE at the

right of the digit display.

• When you un-mute, the volume will return to

the same level it was at before you turned on

the mute mode.

PLEASE NOTE: It is normal for the volume to

stay at the same level if you turn the VOLUME

knob extremely slowly.

Mute

Press the MUTE button to temporarily set

the VOLUME to 0. When activating the MUTE

function, MUTE will light up at the right of the

volume display digits. Switching can be done by

either pushing the MUTE button momentarily on

the CAP-151 faceplate or on the remote handset.

The volume setting is memorized when the unit

is in mute mode; thus Volume will return to the

same level it was playing at prior to muting when

you turned off MUTE mode. (see DISPLAY).

PLEASE NOTE: The display will change to Display

Full Off mode after the unit has been in

MUTE mode for an hour.

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN THE CAP-151 IS IN THE

MUTE POSITION, AND THE VOLUME CONTROL IS

TURNED UP USING THE VOLUME CONTROL ON

THE UNIT OR THE REMOTE CONTROL, THE PLAY

MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED.

CAUTION: Make sure the preamp is in MUTE

(ON) when making or changing any connections.

This includes all inputs and outputs, as well as

A.C. linecord.

Remote Handset

The remote handset controls the volume, directly

selects the input you want to play, and also

permits you to turn MUTE ON or MUTE OFF. Two

other functions are available only on the remote:

BALANCE and DISPLAY brightness.

To access the batteries, unscrew the back plate of

the remote handset with the supplied hex key.

Power

Pressing the POWER button turns on the unit

when it is off and turns it on when the unit is

off. When the POWER button is pressed, a single

LED in the display will flash and the display will

show a 20 second count down as the unit

powers up. During these 20 seconds, there will

be no response to any function selection except

the POWER button, which can be pressed again

to turn off the unit during this sequence. When

the turn on sequence is completed, the volume

level will be at 0, the unit will be muted, the

display will be at Display Full On mode, and LINE

1 input is selected. Please note that if you turn

off the unit during the 20 second power-up

sequence, you must wait at least 4 seconds

to re-start the power-up sequence.

Input Selection

Pressing LINE 1, LINE 2, LINE 3, LINE 4, BAL1 or

TAPE directly selects that input. An LED will light

on the face of the amplifier to show which input

is selected.

Volume

Pressing the /\ bar increases the volume,

while pressing the \/ bar decreases the volume.

The volume control has a total of 120 steps

of level adjustments from 0 to 60 in 0.5

stepped increments.

Mute

Press the MUTE button to temporarily set the

VOLUME to 0. When activating the MUTE
