Classe CP-700 owners - won't play - AC Volt Error


I received my new / demo Classe CP-700 pre-amp unit yesterday....but when I went to set it up - the display read - '' internal protection circuit engaged - AC voltage error ''....I have hooked up at least different three pre-amps in the past at this very same outlet with no prior problems......I took the pre-amp to different outlets in my house - and the same display was shown ....in other words - it dosen't work. The dealer had closed by the time I had reached this point....am I doing something wrong here ????

140v at the house? wow and ouch.
I've never seen over 119 here, and I have a full-time voltage monitor plugged in.
Doesn't record, though, or even grab 'peak' value.
The Classé Delta series components will go into protection mode if the AC line voltage is excessively high (greater than 135V). If you have a multimeter, check your houeshold voltage. I recall a member at one forum recently who had 140V at his house.
Does the unit have a 110/220V switch in the wrong position? Only guess I have.
