Plinius Audio 8200 MkII Tape Outputs, Mute Switch, Processor Source and Return, Processor Switch

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.

PROCESSOR SOURCE AND RETURN

These RCA connections are for use with a multi-channel sound processor. They are provided so that you can use the Plinius 8200 as either two channels in a multi-channel environment, or to send signal through the amplifier to an external processor.

PROCESSOR SWITCH

This switch is used in conjunction with the processor source and return terminals, and controls whether the amplifier is used via the normal inputs or the processor return input.

PRE OUT OUTPUT

The Pre-Out connection is provided to enable the Plinius 8200 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 8200.

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.

PHONO EARTH POST

This is a chassis connected gold-plated earth post for use with certain phono turntables.
