4 Introduction .................................................................................................................. ................. Page 3 Precautions ....................................................................................
5 Please take special note of the following precautions before operating your new amplifier: • The Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier can deliver in excess of 175 watts into 8 ohms. This amplifier is also capable of a very large peak current delivery.
6 PLINIUS 8200 RECORD S OURCE VOLUM E xx x TUNER T APE 1 T APE 2 STANDBY CD PHONO The front of the Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier incorporates all the facilities you will require on a daily basis.
7 RECORD SELECTOR This rotary switch allows recording of any of the five different inputs available on the back panel. Note that when recording, the source that is being listened to will not be interfered with. For example, it is possible to be listening to the CD input whilst recording from the TUNER input.
8 This panel incorporates all the terminals for connecting the input signals from your CD player, tuner, etc, and the outputs to the loudspeakers and mains supply. Please remember that your Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier is a high quality electronic instrument capable of an exceptional level of performance.
9 TAPE OUTPUTS These RCA outputs are situated next to the tape RCA inputs, and are provided to interface to a pair of line level recording devices. The position of the record selector on the front panel determines from which device a recording is being made.
10 PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION Your Plinius 8200 operates at a moderately high temperature, especially when being driven hard. The ideal location is upon a rigid stand, or floor mounted away from direct contact with any temperature sensitive materials or deep pile carpets.
11 It is important that you connect your loudspeakers (outputs) and source components (inputs) to the Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier correctly to ensure the amplifier is not damaged, and sounds its best with your system.
12 SETTING THE PROCESSOR SWITCH The processor switch needs to be in ‘bypass’ when listening to music directly from selected source inputs such as CD or tuner. If you are not using an external processor in either way as described above, ensure this switch is set to ‘bypass’.
13 To achieve a sound performance that is correctly aligned to your room, make sure all of the leads carrying signals for the RIGHT channel loudspeaker are connected to the RIGHT input to the amplifier from your preamplifier or CD player etc. Signals for the LEFT channel should be wired in a similar fashion.
14 REMOTE CONTROL Provided with your Plinius 8200 is a three function remote control. The two buttons at the top of the remote adjust the volume level, and the button below switches the amplifier in and out of mute. Two AAA batteries power the remote, and these are replaced by removing the two posi-drive screws holding the bottom plate in place.
15 To re-fit the fuse, insert the fuse and gently turn it as far as possible anticlockwise (to the left). Now push the fuse cap in firmly, then turn clockwise (to the right) until it comes to a stop. Release inward pressure on the cap and the fuse will be fitted securely.
16 Your Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier is designed for use with high fidelity loudspeakers. It should not be used to operate any other type of appliance or equipment. Choice of loudspeakers is one of personal taste, providing the chosen loudspeakers are suitable for use with your amplifier.
