PHASING (OR POLARITY)
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing
the wiring instructions above, each preamplifier/power amplifier/loudspeaker
combination should be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack
of bass, check that all interconnection cables and loudspeaker wires have been
connected correctly. We recommend that you use one of the easily obtainable ‘test
discs’ to help you ensure both phasing and channel orientation are correct. 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.
USING THE HT BYPASS INPUT
The Tautoro Preamplifier features a home theatre input to bypass the Tautoro when used
in home theatre or multimedia installations. When HT Bypass is selected on the Tautoro,
the signal will pass from the Tautoro HT Bypass input directly to the Tautoro outputs.
This enables the Tautoro to remain in circuit for use with two channel sources (such
as CD players and tuners), as well as a link to the power amp and speakers should
you wish to use your normal stereo set-up in a surround or home theatre environment.
To access the HT Bypass input, press the HT Bypass button on the remote control.
To exit the HT Bypass mode and return to using a source component, press the
remote button that corresponds to that source component.
NOTE:
When HT Bypass is selected, no volume or phase settings can be accessed. A
signal connected to the HT Bypass input will go to BOTH the RCA and XLR outputs.
CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY
Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this amplifier is
similar to the mains supply voltage in your area. If in doubt, please consult your
Plinius dealer. Mains supply power connection is via the plug-in lead supplied with
your PLINIUS Tautoro.
Check the wall outlet is switched OFF, then connect the local mains plug end of the
lead to the wall outlet. Check the Tautoro is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of
the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the Tautoro. With the cord fully connected,
switch the wall outlet ON.
