Please take special note of the following precautions before operating your new amplifier:

•The Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier can deliver in excess of 100 watts into 8 ohms. This

amplifier is also capable of a very large peak current delivery.

•The Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier operates in Class AB. It is capable of generating heat that

could have an adverse effect on other electronic equipment, furniture, etc. DO NOT leave

flammable material on the amplifier whilst running, as this could pose a serious fire risk.

•This amplifier operates at hazardous voltage levels. There are some alterations that may be made

by you, the owner. However, we recommend that any work requiring removal of the lid be referred

to a suitably qualified and experienced service technician.

•DO NOT attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to its own outputs.

•DO NOT earth any output terminal or connect any of these terminals together without following the

instructions in this manual or seeking qualified assistance.

•DO NOT place this amplifier in any position where liquids, or any foreign material may accidentally

enter it.

•DO NOT connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance (other than suitable

high fidelity loudspeakers) to the amplifier output terminals.

The front of the Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier incorporates all the facilities

you will require on a daily basis.

FRONT PANEL LAYOUT SHOWING VOLUME KNOB, RECORD

AND SOURCE SELECTORS, DISPLAY LED’S AND MAINS SWITCH

MAINS SWITCH

The heavy-duty rocker switch to the left of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or

OFF. Depress the right hand side of the switch to turn the amplifier on. The amplifier draws a moderately

high current when switched on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off

repeatedly.

POWER LED

An LED in between ‘PLINIUS 8100’ indicates that the power is on. When first switched on, the power LED

will pulse for ten seconds - this is an initialisation sequence, after which the power LED remains lit during

the time the amplifier is powered on.

SOURCE SELECTOR

This rotary switch enables selection of any of the six different inputs available on the back panel. This

selection is fed to the speakers via the output posts on the rear of the amplifier.

RECORD SELECTOR

This rotary switch allows recording of any of the six different inputs available on the back panel. Note that

when recording, the source that is being listened to will not be interfered with. For example, it is possible

to be listening to the CD input whilst recording from the TUNER input. Two tape decks can be connected

and dubbing in either direction is possible.

VOLUME CONTROL KNOB

The volume control is an ALPS motorised unit that will accurately convey the source signals to the power

amplification stage of the Plinius 8100. The knob can be adjusted manually or with the remote control

supplied. When using the remote control to alter the volume level, stab the button to make small

adjustments, or hold the button down to continuously adjust the volume.

MUTE/REMOTE LED

The LED directly below the volume knob serves two purposes. Firstly, whenever the Plinius 8100 is in

mute, the LED will be lit. Secondly, whenever a button on the remote control is used, the LED will light to

show the amplifier is receiving signal.

This panel incorporates all the terminals for connecting the input signals from your CD player, tuner, etc,

and the outputs to the loudspeakers and mains supply.

Please remember that your Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier is a high quality electronic instrument

capable of an exceptional level of performance. Be sure that you understand your system’s requirements

fully before you make any connection to this amplifier.

REAR PANEL SHOWING INPUT AND OUTPUT TERMINALS,

MUTE SWITCH, AND MAINS SOCKET.

INPUT TERMINALS

The input terminals for your Plinius 8100 Integrated Amplifier are easily accessible along the top of the

rear panel. These standard RCA terminals are for use with unbalanced signals from CD, auxiliary, tuner,

video, and two tape decks. Consult your PLINIUS

PLINIUSPLINIUS

PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.

OUTPUT TERMINALS

Connections for the loudspeakers are provided on the right hand side of the rear panel. Two parallel pairs

of five way binding posts for each channel are fitted – these provide ease of use with bi-wiring and

multiple cables requiring a large contact area.

RIGHT CHANNEL LEFT CHANNEL

TAPE OUTPUTS

These RCA outputs are situated next to the tape RCA inputs, and are provided to interface to a pair of line

level recording devices. The position of the record selector on the front panel determines from which

device a recording is being made. As these tape outputs are always ‘live’, both can be used to record the

chosen signal at any time.

MUTE SWITCH

The mute switch enables disconnection of the output, without the need to use the remote control. When

the amplifier is in mute, the LED on the right of the front panel will light.

PRE OUT OUTPUT

The Pre-Out connection is provided to enable the Plinius 8100 to be connected to an external power

amplifier. The signal from this output is line level, and as such is not amplified by the power stage of the

Plinius 8100.

MAINS POWER CORD IEC SOCKET

This connector is where the mains supply cable from your wall connects to the 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.

RAIL FUSES

These tubular fuse holders house the positive and negative rail protection fuses. Depress and turn anti-

clockwise to open. An LED is fitted next to each fuse holder to indicate a blown fuse.

PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION

Your Plinius 8100 operates at a moderately high temperature, especially when being driven hard. The

ideal location is upon a rigid stand, or floor mounted away from direct contact with any temperature

sensitive materials or deep pile carpets. Ventilation through and around the amplifier should also be kept

unimpeded, so ensure that the heat vents (slots in the lid and base) are not covered or restricted in any

way.

The Plinius 8100 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the input and output.

It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use of

acoustic cones, or a suitably spiked amplifier stand or table, may further enhance the performance of this

amplifier. Consult your PLINIUS

PLINIUSPLINIUS

PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.

MAINS VOLTAGE CONNECTION

Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this amplifier is similar to the mains

supply voltage in your area. If in doubt, please consult your PLINIUS

PLINIUSPLINIUS

PLINIUS dealer.

Mains supply power connection is via the supplied plug-in lead. A standard IEC socket connects the

mains power at the amplifier end, while a local mains plug is required at the wall end.

The wiring code used inside all Plinius product is:

Should a ‘local’ plug need fitting to the wall end of the lead, ensure that a suitably qualified service

technician wires the plug correctly.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER UP YOUR AMPLIFIER UNTIL YOU HAVE

CONNECTED YOUR INPUT/OUTPUTS CORRECTLY FOR

YOUR SYSTEM, (AS EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT SECTION).
