to the Plinius 9200 inputs, select the line input chosen above on the receiver (eg. ‘Line 1’) and operate
the receiver as normal. You will be able to set the Plinius 9200 volume control to a level that will allow
the loudness of its source components to match those from the receiver. All volume control adjustment
for the system should then be done via the receiver’s volume control.
BYPASSING THE RECEIVER OR PROCESSOR
You may wish to listen to the best possible two channel sound from sources connected to the Plinius
9200 even when it is interconnected with a receiver as described above. In this case simply reach behind
the Plinius 9200 and toggle the processor switch to ‘bypass only’. With the switch in this position the
external receiver is out of circuit and you can enjoy the full two channel capabilities of the Plinius 9200.
RECORDING MUSIC
In order to record music to tape, or some other line level recording device, these devices will need to be
connected to the tape 1 and tape 2 outputs. Turn the record selector on the front panel to the input you
wish to record from, and the amplifier will now send signal to both tape 1 and tape 2 outputs. Note that
the volume control does not adjust the recording level - this is done at the recording device itself.
USING PRE OUT
A line level output is provided on the back of the Plinius 9200. If you wish to use the Plinius 9200 as a
pre-amp only, or to send signal to another amplifier, fit the interconnect cable to the pre out outputs. Note
that the pre out connections provide signal from whatever the source selector knob is currently set to.
LOUDSPEAKER 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 using bi-wires,
always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and the same for the negative (-) terminals.
