amplifier. You will notice that a fuse holder is mounted within this connection, and it
holds a mains fuse to provide surge and overload protection for your amplifier.

6. REMOTE TRIGGER TERMINALS
In order to integrate more effectively into a home theatre or multimedia system,
the Plinius SB-301 MKII has remote trigger terminals fitted to the rear panel. By
connecting a processor with a remote trigger signal to these terminals, the SB-301
MKII can be put in and out of Standby by the processor to which it is connected.
When in Standby the amplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum
temperature. The output relays are also open, disconnecting the loudspeakers. This
may be of advantage in a multi-amplifier and/or remote installations. Polarity of the
connections to the remote trigger is not important.

7. GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch is located adjacent to the Mains Input Socket, and allows the signal
ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some installations a hum loop
may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different equipment. Use this switch
to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus allowing some flexibility in your
particular set-up. Note that when using Balanced XLR inputs, the ground lift switch
should always be set to ‘chassis’.
