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. The bottom end of the remote is now free to slide out for access to the batteries.
Replace the two batteries, taking care to refit the new ones with correct polarity.
PHONO GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The phono stage can also be set to high or low gain to suit your phono turntable
specifications (high gain is the factory setting). Disconnect the lead from the IEC
socket on your Plinius 9200 and make sure the Mains switch is OFF. Carefully remove
the lid by undoing the cap screws on the top and side. Locate the small black
phono jumpers to the middle-right side of the top circuit board. The gain can now be
adjusted noting that high gain (factory setting) is set with jumpers to the left, and low
gain is set with jumpers to the right. Now re-assemble your Plinius 9200.
TAPE LOCKOUT PROTECTION
On most tape decks, any signal recorded is sent to the tape outputs so that the
signal level of the recording can be monitored. Should the user accidentally try
to record the tape decks own output, feedback noise usually results. The Plinius
9200 Tape Lockout feature is designed to prevent this situation and will also prevent
excessively high source component signals from reaching the output, which may
cause damage to the speakers. When tape lockout protection occurs, the amplifier
outputs will be momentarily disconnected and the power LED will be dim and flash.
NOTE: If you find tape lockout protection is activating during a normal listening session,
or due to a ‘loud’ recording, turn the record selector to standby. Tape lockout protection
only functions when record and source are set to the same input.
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, disconnect the
amplifier from the mains power and wait 30 minutes, then firmly push in the round fuse
cap with your fingers. When the cap cannot push in any further, rotate the cap anti-
clockwise (to the left) until it comes to a stop. Release inward pressure on the fuse cap
and it can now be removed from the amplifier. Replace them with the same type only.
To re-fit the fuse, insert the fuse and gently turn it as far as possible anti-clockwise (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.
