Now that your PLINIUS Tautoro Preamplifier is configured correctly, switch the power
switch on the rear panel to ON. The power LED will vary in brightness indicating the
unit is in standby. Use the front panel buttons or the source or standby buttons
on the remote to take the unit out of Standby. You can now enjoy your new PLINIUS
Tautoro Preamplifier.
NOTE:
This unit must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection. The wall outlet socket or mains switch must be accessible at all times in
case of emergency.
WARM-UP PERIOD
You will find that the PLINIUS Tautoro will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after
being on for a period of time. We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before
expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your preamplifier. Also, as the
PLINIUS Tautoro uses very little power while on, we suggest leaving the unit turned on
(but in standby mode while not being used) so that it will always be at it’s sonic best.

front panel display will indicate the input is indeed phono level.
