Configuring and using external (pre-amp) inputs
To configure and select external pre-amp inputs, select External Source from the Main
Drawer Feature Menu.
The SOURCE CONTROL tab shows a diagrammatic view of the pre-amp inputs. When you use
your Plato unit for the first time, all the inputs are marked unassigned.
By configuring your inputs, it will be easier to determine which audio device is connected to
which input, and configure the inputs to ensure the best quality of playback, and get the
most from your Plato.
Before assigning the inputs, check that all the input devices (turntables, CD players etc.) are
connected correctly. Make a note of what device you have connected to a specific input.
If connecting a turntable, it must be connected to the ‘AUX/Phono’ input.
To assign and configure each input, Long Press (press and hold) the icon corresponding to
the input you would like to modify.
For each input you can assign a suitable icon and name. You can also make changes to the
configuration settings.
When you assign an input, there are also configuration menus and options for each input
device.
Tip. Do not change configuration settings until you have:
Checked any recommended settings provided for that specific device.
Played music through that input device and checked the gain levels.
See section 6 for full details.
