REMOTE CONTROL
Provided with your Plinius 8200 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 posi-drive screws holding the
bottom plate in place. The rear panel of the remote can now be slid downwards. 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 8200 and make sure the Mains switch is OFF.
Carefully remove the lid by undoing the 4 posi-drive screws underside. 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 8200.
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 howl usually results. The Plinius 8200 Tape Lockout feature prevents this situation from
damaging your system speakers by muting the power amplifier.
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, steady the amplifier, then firmly push in the round fuse cap
with your fingers. When the cap cannot push in any further, rotate the cap anticlockwise (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. If any of the rail fuses need to be replaced, do so only with 7.5 amp normal blow fuses.
