    The front of the Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier incorporates all the facilities PLINIUS RONT ANEL OURCE ELECTORS MAINS SWITCH The heavy-duty rocker switch to the left of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or OFF. Depress the right hand side of the switch to turn the amplifier on. 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.
  • Page 7: Record Selector

    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.

  • Page 9: Tape Outputs

    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. As these tape outputs are always ‘live’, both can be used to record the chosen signal at any time.
  • Page 10: Placement And Ventilation

    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. Ventilation through and around the amplifier should also be kept unimpeded, so ensure that the heat vents (slots in the lid and base) are not covered or restricted in any way.
  • Page 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. Now that you have read and familiarised yourself with the connections on the back of the amplifier, as covered in the previous section, we will now describe in detail the way in which you can connect the amplifier to your system.
  • Page 12: Recording Music

    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’.
  • Page 13: Connecting The Mains Supply

    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. CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY Now that your Plinius 8200 Integrated Amplifier is configured to your system correctly, the mains cable can be plugged into the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier.
  • Page 14: Remote Control

    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.
  • Page 15: Mains/Line Fuse

    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.
  • Page 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.
