We recommend that any work requiring removal to a suitably qualified and experienced service

•DO NOT attempt to connect any input of this amplifier to it’s own outputs.

•DO NOT earth any output terminal or connect any of these terminals together without following the instructions in this manual or seeking qualified assistance.

•DO NOT place this amplifier in any position where liquids or any foreign material may accidentally enter it.

•DO NOT connect any voltage source, short circuit, earth/ground or appliance (other than suitable high fidelity loudspeakers) to the amplifier output terminals.

•Some preamplifiers, processors, CD players’ etc. produce large switching pulses when switched on causing a loud click through the loudspeakers. For this reason, turn on all other equipment in your system before turning on your Plinius SA-250, or ensure that the amplifier is in MUTE.
