POWER AMPLIFIER

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 Kiokio. 

Check the wall outlet is switched OFF, then connect the local mains plug end of the 
lead to the wall outlet. Check the Kiokio is switched OFF, and connect the IEC end of 
the cable to the IEC socket at the back of the Kiokio. With the cord fully connected, 
switch the wall outlet ON. 

Now that your Plinius Kiokio 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. Use the MUTE switch on the front panel to take the unit out 
of MUTE and you can now enjoy your new Plinius Kiokio Power Amplifier.

NOTE: This unit must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing 
connection. The wall outlet socket or Kiokio mains switch must be accessible at all 
times in case of emergency.

WARM-UP PERIOD

You will find that the Plinius Kiokio will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after being 
on for a period of time.  We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before expecting the 
best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier.
