10 PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION Your Plinius 8100 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 8100 Integrated Amplifier correctly to ensure the amplifier is not damaged, and sounds its best with your system.
12 BI-WIRING Bi-wiring uses two pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will notice that the rear panel of your Plinius 8100 has two pairs of output terminals for this purpose. When using bi-wires, always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and the same for the negative (-) terminals.
13 REMOTE CONTROL Provided with your Plinius 8100 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.
14 MAINS/LINE FUSE A Mains/Line fuse is fitted within the IEC socket on the rear of the amplifier. A small drawer at the bottom of this socket may be removed (after the IEC plug is removed) by levering it out with a flat blade screwdriver. The fuse fitted should be rated at no greater than 5 amps slow blow.
15 Your Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier is designed for use with high fidelity loudspeakers. It should not be used to operate with 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.
