cartridge. Once the correct loading value has been determined, use the
corresponding mini-switch to set the load value to one of 470R, 100R, 47R, or 22R.
With none of the switches ON, the loading will be set to 47K. Please consult your
cartridge manufacturer for specific recommendations.
PHONO GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The Tautoro Phono input can also be set to one of four gain settings to suit your
phono turntable specifications using the 2-way mini-switches labelled ‘GAIN’.
These 2-way mini-switches allow the gain to be adjusted as low as 50dB, to suit high
output Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges, or as high as 66dB for low output Moving Coil
(MC) cartridges. The four possible gain configurations are as follows:
The switch body shows an arrow indicating the direction for the switch to be ‘ON’.
Switch ‘1’ is the 6dB adjustment. With Switch ‘1’ ON there is an additional 6dB. Used
within the 50dB range this will increase the gain from 50dB to 56dB. Used within the
60dB range it will increase the gain from 60dB to 66dB.
Switch ‘2’ is the 10dB adjustment. With switch ‘2’ ON the gain will be increased from
the 50dB range to the 60dB range.
REMOTE CONTROL
Provided with your PLINIUS Tautoro is a 17 function remote control. 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.
HEADPHONE SOCKET
The PLINIUS Tautoro features an internal headphone amplifier for connection to a set
of suitable hi-fidelity headphones with 6.35mm (1/4 inch) jack. The headphone output
is situated at the lower right of the unit and is live at all times, except when the unit is
in standby or HT Bypass mode. This allows the unit to be in mute, disconnecting the
output to the power amplifier and speakers while using headphones. Headphone
volume can be adjusted with the main volume control.
