LEFT RCA input. Also make sure the RCA connectors are a snug fit and are inserted
all the way in.
For CD XLR input connection, make sure you connect the RIGHT XLR input and LEFT
XLR inputs to the right and left outputs from your source respectively. Also make sure
the XLR connectors click into place. Use the input selection switch to select RCA if
you are using RCA inputs or to select XLR if you are using XLR inputs.
NOTE: DO NOT connect XLR and RCA at the same time, use only one or the other. The
phono input should be connected to a suitable source turntable only.
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS
The connection of your loudspeakers to the output posts of the Plinius 9200 must be
made by an ‘instructed person’ with suitable ready made loudspeaker cables only.
Connect your left loudspeaker (ie. the one on your left when seated in your normal
listening position) to the left output terminals. Ensure the terminals on the amplifier are
connected to the loudspeaker terminals Red positive (+) to Red positive (+) and Black
negative (–) to Black negative (–). Repeat this process for the right outputs.
TERMINATION QUALITY
Quality of the connections must be examined to ensure that high-performance,
trouble-free operation is enjoyed. Check that the connections are tight but do not
over tighten. If bare wires are used make sure that no loose strands of wire short
across the other terminals or the amplifier chassis. When using plugs such as
bananas, be sure to use good quality plugs with a firm fit.
BI-WIRING
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 (–). Be sure to remove any jumpers that may be fitted to your
loudspeakers.
PHASING (OR POLARITY)
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing
the wiring instructions above, each power amplifier/loudspeaker combination should
be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that
the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly. If in doubt, consult your Plinius
dealer for advice.
Naturally it is also important to make sure all 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.
