Page 11: Installation & Operation
Balanced XLR interconnect cables only. If using single-ended RCA inputs, connect your preamplifi er to the RCA inputs on the back of the Plinius P10. Make sure you connect the red coded cable to the red RIGHT RCA input, and the black (or white) cable to the white LEFT RCA input. - Page 12 Bi-wiring uses two pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will notice that the rear panel of your Plinius P10 has two pairs of output terminals for this purpose. Be sure to follow correct practises for stereo and mono configurations when using bi-wiring.
- Page 13 Check the P10 is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the P10. With the cord fully connected, switch the wall outlet ON.

The sensor is located at the main power transformer and should the transformer internal temperature exceed 110°C (230°F) the power will be disconnected from the unit. The unit will remain off until the temperate has reduced significantly, and then the sensor will automatically reset to the ON state. -
