REMOTE CONTROL

Provided with your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier is a 16 function remote cont rol. Two A A A bat teries power the remote, and these are replaced by removing the t wo

screws on the base of the remote that hold the bat ter y compar tment in place. The

bot tom end of the remote is now free to slide out for access to the bat teries. Replace the t wo bat teries, taking care to refit the new ones with correct polarit y.

PHONO GAIN ADJUSTMENT

The phono stage can also be set to high or low gain to suit your phono turntable

specifications (high gain is the factor y set ting). Disconnect the lead from the IEC socket on your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier and make sure the Mains switch is

OFF. Carefully remove the lid by undoing the cap screws on the top. Locate the

small black phono jumpers to the middle -right side of the top circuit board. The gain can now be adjusted noting that high gain (factor y set ting) is set with jumpers to the

lef t, and low gain is set with jumpers to the right. Now re -assemble your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier.

FUSE PROTECTION

When any rail fuse is damaged one or more fuse warning LED’s will light. These LED’s

are located nex t to the fuse that has blown. To replace the fuse, disconnect the amplifier from the mains power and wait 30 minutes, then firmly push in the round fuse

cap with your fingers. When the cap cannot push in any fur ther, rotate the cap anti-

clockwise (to the lef t) until it comes to a stop. Release inward pressure on the fuse cap and it can now be removed from the amplifier. Replace them with the same t ype only.

To re-fit the fuse, inser t the fuse and gently turn it as far as possible anti-clockwise (to

the lef t). Now push the fuse cap in firmly, then turn clockwise (to the right) until it comes

to a stop. Release inward pressure on the cap and the fuse will be fitted securely.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.

NOTE: that fuse failure may indicate a severe problem. Check all speakers and

speaker cables for damage etc. Should the amplifier continue to exhibit rail fuse failure, contact your Plinius dealer.

MAINS/LINE FUSE

A Mains /Line fuse is fit ted within the IEC socket on the rear of the amplifier. A small drawer at the bot tom of this socket may be removed (af ter the IEC plug is removed) by levering it out with a flat blade screwdriver. The fuse fit ted should be rated as specified on the rear panel.
