PLINIUS HIATO

Remote Control Functions

The Plinius Hiato Integrated Amplifier features a full function remote to control all 
settings and configurations of the amplifier as well as complete controls for operating 
your Plinius CD player.

INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REMOTE FUNCTIONS:

1. STANDBY

Standby is used to put the unit into a low power mode. This 
disconnects the outputs of the amplifier and turns off the white 
display LED’s. It also switches the power amplifier to a low bias mode 
to reduce power consumption and still keep the circuitry active. This 
allows a minimum warm up period before the Hiato is at it’s sonic best.

2. DISPLAY

The display button on the remote enables you to adjust the 
display brightness of the white LED’s. Pressing the display button 
repeatedly will dim the LED in steps until they are off. The next press 
of the button will cycle the display back to full brightness.

3. HT BYPASS

The HT Bypass button activates the Hiato Home theatre bypass 
mode. When activatedm the Hiato is bypassed and the signal is 
direct from the HT Bypass input to the outputs. Because the Hiato 
is bypassed in Processor mode the only buttons that continue to 
function are standby and display. For more information refer to the 
Installation and Operation section in this manual.

4. PHASE

The phase of the output signal from the preamplifier is toggled from 
absolute to inverted 180 degrees with each press of this button.

5. SOURCE SELECTION

The source selection buttons enable changing from one input to another when needed 
and can be scrolled left or right to select the desired source. On reaching the left most or 
right most input, the selection will scroll in a continuos loop with the next button press.

6. VOLUME CONTROL

Use these two buttons to control the volume level of the Integrated Amplifier.  The 
right side button increases volume, while the left side button decreases the volume.  
Briefly press either button to make fine adjustments to the volume level.  Hold down 
either button to continually adjust the volume level.
