All operational, technical and descriptive material in this publication is subject to change at any time without notice. For further product information or queries, please contact your Plinius dealer. Plinius products are designed and manufactured by Plinius Audio Limited, New Zealand.
We have designed and manufactured this product to reproduce your favourite music faithfully and accurately. With a little care and a full understanding of the operating recommendations in this manual, your Plinius Mauri Compact Disc Player will provide years of high-quality, trouble-free performance.
Design Philosophy From a distance you can see that the design of the Plinius products is more than an applied styling exercise to the front panel. We have started from the ground up to produce a casing for our electronics that is unrivalled in its physical strength and visual simplicity.
Ensure a minimum of 100mm clearance on all sides of your Plinius unit to other equipment and the shelf above. If the unit is in an enclosed cabinet, the clearance should be greater than 400mm on all sides.
SURFACE CLEANING From time to time you may wish to clean the surface of your Plinius equipment to remove dust, or any material build up from the atmosphere or on commonly used controls. Your Plinius product is made up of parts that have a hard anodised or a powder coat finish and will clean easily without being damaged.
• DO NOT connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance (other than suitable audio preamplifiers) to the Mauri Compact Disc Player output terminals. • DO NOT use discs that are scratched or damaged. This may lead to unintended operation or malfunction.

along with the appropriate LED between 1 and 20. For example, playing track 23 on a CD containing 32 tracks would show LEDs 20+ and 3 lit and varying in brightness in unison to indicate the track playing, plus LED’s 1, 5, 10 and 12 are also lit to show the track quantity.
The rear panel incorporates all the terminals for connecting the output signal to your preamplifier, AV receiver or integrated amplifier and connection to the mains supply. Please remember that your Plinius Mauri Compact Disc Player is a high quality electronic instrument capable of an exceptional level of performance. Be sure that you understand your system’s requirements fully before you make any connection to...

4. MAINS SWITCH The heavy-duty rocker switch turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or OFF. The amplifier draws a moderately high current when switched on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off repeatedly. 5.
Remote Control Functions The Mauri features a full function remote to control all actions of the unit. This section details the buttons of the Mauri remote and how they are used. 1. REPEAT Press this button and the repeat light on the front panel will light up.

Hold down either button to continually adjust the volume level. Note that these buttons do not control the Mauri Compact Disc Player, and are included only to remove the need for two remotes, if more than one Plinius product is in your system.
FOR PLACEMENT & OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT. CONNECTIONS Connections to your Plinius Mauri should be made in the same order as they are listed in this section. DO NOT attempt to connect your Plinius Mauri until you have read and fully understood these instructions. Although these instructions refer to the connection of the Mauri to a preamplifier, the Mauri can also be safely installed into multimedia systems by following the same installation guidelines.

Check the unit is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the Mauri. With the cord fully connected, switch the wall outlet ON. Now that your Mauri is configured correctly, switch the power switch on the rear panel to ON.
Product Features REMOTE CONTROL Provided with your Plinius Mauri is an 11 function remote control. Two AAA batteries power the remote, and these are replaced by removing the two screws on the base of the remote that hold the battery compartment in place. The bottom end of the remote is now free to slide out for access to the batteries.
NO TRACK DISPLAY LEDS • Check a valid CD is in the transport. If the CD cannot be read, the Mauri will not show any track information. • Adjust the display brightness through the levels high, low and off in case the display has gone into standby mode.
