With simple care and maintenance your Plinius product can be kept looking and operating like new for many years to come.
MAINTAINING THE CONNECTORS
Exposed connectors such as the RCA connectors will be subject to environmental factors, and over time the sur face may degrade. This can be greatly reduced by fitting readily available ‘RCA caps’ to reduce the ef fects of environmental elements on the RCA connectors. These RCA caps or RCA shor ting caps can also provide sonic benefits. Connector cleaning products are also available to clean the RCA and cable connectors and frequent checks and cleaning will help maintain a good signal connection.
NOTE: DO NOT use RCA shor ting caps on output connectors or power amplifier input connectors. Use RCA shor ting caps on unused preamplifier stage input connectors only. Standard RCA shielding caps can be used on any unused input or output connectors.
MAINTAINING THE SWITCHES
Switches should be maintained by using each various switch set ting periodically. Even if a switch or a switch set ting is not used, it is a good idea to toggle small switches and turn rotar y switches though the full range of the switch several times in succession to keep the contacts active. Per forming this simple action will promote longevit y of the switch contacts.
SURFACE CLEANING
