Owner's Manual SSP-600 Surround Processor - Classé Audio

warm up/break-in period
Your new Classé surround processor will deliver outstanding performance
immediately. However, you should expect to hear it improve somewhat as
it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components
“break-in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the
first 300 hours, as the surround processor reaches thermal equilibrium and the
capacitors fully form. After this initial break-in period, the performance of your
new product should remain quite consistent for years to come.
The only exception to this rule is if the unit is unplugged for an extended period
of time, allowing it to cool down. Depending on the degree of cooling involved,
you should expect a brief warm-up period before the surround processor’s
sound quality is at its best. Unless your surround processor was allowed to
become quite chilled, subsequent thermal re-stabilization should not take long.
Fortunately, you should never have to repeat the initial 300 hour break-in
period.

Please take a few minutes to review this manual, and to familiarize yourself
with your new surround processor. We understand that you are anxious to plug
everything in and get started. However, reading this manual and following the
advice it gives will ensure that you get all the benefits you deserve from having
purchased such a fine piece of equipment.
