INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION

Ventilation through and around your Plinius CD101 Compact Disc Player should be kept unimpeded, so ensure that the heat vents (slots in the lid) are not covered or restricted in any way.

The Plinius CD101 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the outputs. However, it can still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use of acoustic cones or isolators or a suitable equipment stand or table, may further enhance the performance of this Compact Disc player. Consult your PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.

MAINS VOLTAGE CONNECTION

Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this Compact Disc player 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 supplied plug-in lead. A standard IEC socket connects the mains power at the Compact Disc player end, while a local mains plug is required at the wall end.

The wiring code used inside all Plinius product is:

Green to Earth/Ground

Blue to Neutral

Brown to Phase/Live

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 COMPACT DISC PLAYER UNTIL YOU HAVE CONNECTED YOUR INPUT/OUTPUTS CORRECTLY FOR YOUR SYSTEM, (AS EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT SECTION).
