interconnect cable to the pre out outputs. The signal from this output is not amplified
by the power stage of the Plinius Hiato. The output level remains adjustable by using
the Hiato volume control. The pre out connections provide signal from whichever the
source is currently selected.
CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY
Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this amplifier 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 plug-in lead supplied with
your Plinius Hiato.
Check the wall outlet is switched OFF, then connect the local mains plug end of the
lead to the wall outlet. Check the Hiato is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of
the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the Hiato. With the cord fully connected,
switch the wall outlet ON.
Now that your Plinius Hiato is configured correctly, switch the power switch on the rear
panel to ON. The display LED will vary in brightness as the internal circuitry stabilises and
the unit goes into standby. You can now enjoy your new Plinius Hiato Integrated Amplifier.
NOTE: This unit must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection. The wall outlet socket or mains switch must be accessible at all times in
case of emergency.
WARM-UP PERIOD
You will find that the Plinius Hiato will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after being
on for a period of time. We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before
expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier. Also, as the
Plinius Hiato uses very little power while on, we suggest leaving the unit turned on so
that it will always be at it’s sonic best.
