GROUND LIFT SWITCH This switch is located below the mute switch, and allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION Your Plinius 8200P 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.

It is important that you connect your loudspeakers (outputs) and preamplifier (inputs) to the Plinius 8200P Power 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.
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 8200P Power Amplifier is configured to your system correctly, the mains cable can be plugged into the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier.
FUSE PROTECTION When any rail fuse is damaged one or more fuse warning LED’s will light. These LED’s are located next to the fuse that has blown. To replace the fuse, steady the amplifier, then firmly push in the round fuse cap with your fingers.
