  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    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.

  • Page 3: Introduction

    We have designed and manufactured this amplifier 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 9200 Integrated Amplifier will provide years of high-quality, trouble-free performance.

  • Page 4: Design Philosophy

    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.

  • Page 5: Unpacking

    Please ensure that the heat vents (slots in the base and lid) are not covered or restricted in any way. The Plinius 9200 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical decoupling of the input and output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment.

  • Page 6: Care & Maintenance

    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.

  • Page 7: Precautions

    PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW AMPLIFIER. The Plinius 9200 Integrated Amplifier can deliver in excess of 200 watts into 8 ohms. This amplifier is also capable of a very large peak current delivery.

  • Page 8: Front Panel Functions

    Front Panel Functions The front of the Plinius 9200 Integrated Amplifier incorporates all the facilities you will require on a daily basis. 1. DISPLAY LED An LED on the front panel indicates that the power is on. When first switched on, the display LED will vary in brightness until the initialisation sequence is completed, after which the LED remains lit.

  • Page 9: Rear Panel Functions

    This panel incorporates all terminals for connecting the input signals from your CD player, tuner, etc and the outputs to the loudspeakers and mains supply. Please remember that your Plinius 9200 Integrated Amplifier 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 this amplifier.
  • Page 10 These RCA connections are for use with a multi-channel sound processor. They are provided so that you can use the Plinius 9200 as either two channels in a multi- channel environment, or to send signal through the 9200 to an external processor.
  • Page 11 12. MAINS POWER CORD IEC SOCKET This connector is where the mains supply cable from your wall connects to the amplifier. You will notice that a fuse holder is mounted within this connection, and it holds a mains fuse to provide surge and overload protection for your amplifier. 13.

  • Page 12: Installation & Operation

    YOUR INPUT/OUTPUTS CORRECTLY FOR YOUR SYSTEM. CONNECTIONS Connections to your Plinius 9200 should be made in the same order as they are listed in this section. DO NOT attempt to connect your Plinius 9200 until you have read and fully understood these instructions. Should you require further assistance, please contact your Plinius dealer.
  • Page 13 Bi-wiring uses two pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will notice that the rear panel of your Plinius 9200 has two pairs of output terminals for this purpose. When bi-wiring, always connect the terminals positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (–) to negative (–).
  • Page 14 9200. USING PRE OUT A line level output is provided on the back of the Plinius 9200. If you wish to use the Plinius 9200 as a pre-amp only, or to send signal to another amplifier, fit the interconnect cable to the pre out outputs.
  • Page 15 We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier. Also, as the Plinius 9200 uses very little power while on, we suggest leaving the unit turned on so that it will always be at its sonic best.

  • Page 16: Product Features

    Product Features REMOTE CONTROL Provided with your Plinius 9200 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 screws on the base of the remote that hold the battery compartment in place.
  • Page 17 Plinius dealer. OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The Plinius 9200 is fitted with an auto-reset thermal sensor. 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.

  • Page 18: Loudspeaker Selection

    Loudspeaker Selection Your Plinius 9200 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. Be certain that your loudspeakers can handle most of the rated output power of this amplifier.

  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    Refer to the Product Features section on page 15 for further information. NOTE: If the unit immediately or repeatedly suffers mains fuse failure or thermal overload protection, there may be a major problem and you should contact your Plinius dealer.
