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.
