Plinius Audio Hautonga Intergrated Amplifier - Manual (Page 17)

15 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
USING HT BYPASS INPUT
The Hautonga Integrated Amplifier features a home theatre input to bypass the
preamplifier stage when used in home theatre or multimedia installations. When
HT Bypass is selected, the signal will pass from the HT Bypass input directly to the
Hautonga Integrated power amplifiers.
This enables the unit to remain in circuit for use with two channel sources (such as
CD players and tuners), as well as a link to the speakers should you wish to use your
normal stereo set-up in a surround or home theatre environment.
To access the HT Bypass input, press the HT button on the remote control. To exit the
HT Bypass mode and return to using a source component, press HT again, or use the
source buttons to scroll to any desired source component.
NOTE: Only connect a suitable pre out signal to the HT Bypass input. When HT Bypass
is selected, remote volume cannot be accessed.
USING PRE OUT
A line level output is provided on the back of the Hautonga Integrated Amplifier. If you
wish to use the Hautonga Integrated Amplifier as a pre-amp only, or to send signal
to another amplifier, fit the interconnect cable to the Pre Out outputs. The signal from
this output is preamplifier out level, and as such is not amplified by the power stage
of the Hautonga Integrated Amplifier. The output level remains adjustable by using the
volume control. Note that the Pre Out connections provide signal from whatever the
source selector knob is currently set to.
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 Hautonga Integrated Amplifier. Where possible, check the wall outlet is switched
OFF, then connect the local mains plug end of the lead to the wall outlet. Check the
Integrated Amplifier is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of the cable to the IEC
socket at the back of the integrated amplifier. With the cord fully connected, switch
the wall outlet ON.
Now that your Hautonga Integrated Amplifier is configured correctly, switch the
power switch on the rear panel to ON. The display LED will cycle in brightness for
approximately ten seconds as the internal circuitry stabilises. You can now enjoy your
new Plinius Hautonga 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.
