Connecting your Plato
2.3.1.
Connecting to the mains supply
You must not plug your Plato unit into the mains until you have connected your Plato unit
to the other equipment in your system.
Your Plato unit operates from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label below the
mains inlet on the rear panel. Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains
supply corresponds to the appropriate label below:
230V Products: Voltage Range 220V-240V AC, 50Hz
100-120/230V Products: Voltage Range 100-120/230V, 50/60Hz
Do not connect it to a DC or any other supply.
If you move to another area with a different mains voltage, please contact your local
distributor to have your product converted.
Insert the 3-way connector on the supplied mains lead into the mains connector on the rear
panel of your Plato unit
before
you insert the plug into the mains supply.
Connect the plug on the other end of the mains lead into the mains socket outlet (and then
switch it on, if there is a switch by the mains wall socket).
The only way to disconnect your Plato unit from the mains is to remove the mains lead plug
from the mains socket. Therefore you must install your Plato unit near to the mains outlet
socket which should be easily accessible.
Whenever you disconnect your Plato unit from the main supply, always remove the mains
lead from the mains outlet socket before you remove the 3-way connector from the rear
panel of your Plato unit.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent
electrician.

Connecting your analogue inputs
You can connect many audio devices to your Plato system using either digital or analogue
inputs.
In the example shown below, a turntable, a CD player and a cassette player are connected
via the analogue inputs.
