Plinius Audio Anniversary Integrated Amplifier manual Using HT Bypass Input, Using PRE OUT

Page 16

USING HT BYPASS INPUT

The Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier features a home theat re input to bypass the preamplifier stage when used in home theat re or multimedia installations. When HT Bypass is selected, the signal will pass from the HT Bypass input directly to the Anniversar y Integrated power amplifiers.

This enables the unit to remain in circuit for use with t wo channel sources (such as CD players and tuners), as well as a link to the speakers should you wish to use your normal stereo set-up in a surround or home theat re environment.

To access the HT Bypass input, press the HT but ton on the remote cont rol. To exit the HT Bypass mode and return to using a source component, press HT again, or use the source but tons to scroll to any desired source component.

NOTE: Only connect a suitable pre out signal to the HT Bypass input. When HT Bypass is selected, remote volume cannot be accessed.

USING PRE OUT

A line level output is provided on the back of the Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier. If you wish to use the Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier as a pre -amp only, or to send signal to another amplifier, fit the interconnect cable to the Pre Out outputs. The signal from this output is preamplifier out level, and as such is not amplified by the power stage of the Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier. The output level remains adjustable

by using the volume cont rol. Note that the Pre Out connections provide signal from whatever the source selector knob is currently set to.

CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY

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 dealer. Mains supply power connection is via the plug-in lead supplied with

your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier. Where possible, check the wall outlet is switched OFF, then connect the local mains plug end of the lead to the wall outlet. Check the Integrated Amplifier is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the integrated amplifier. With the cord fully connected, switch the wall outlet ON.

Now that your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier is configured correctly, switch the power switch on the rear panel to ON. The display LED will cycle in brightness for approximately ten seconds as the internal circuit r y stabilises. You can now enjoy your new Plinius Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier.

NOTE: This unit must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective ear thing connection. The wall outlet socket or mains switch must be accessible at all times in case of emergency.
