Turning the system on/off

To turn the system on, press the Power
button on the remote control. When
the system starts up, it also automati-
cally turns on your set-top box (cable,
satellite, etc.).
The status indicator on the control
console and on the monitor indicates the
system status.
While the system starts up, the monitor
emits a start-up tone and displays the
Bose logo with a progress bar under it.
®
Notes:
• When you turn the system on, it will always select and turn on
your cable or satellite box.
• To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the system oper-
ates in a very low power state when it is off. This is why the
system may take several seconds to start.
To turn the system off, including the connected source, press
the Power button on the remote control. The system now op-
erates in power saving mode to conserve energy consumption.

Power saving mode

Power saving mode allows the system to consume only a
minimum amount of power.
To switch the system to power saving mode, press and hold
the Power button for 10 seconds or until the control console
system status light changes to red or amber, indicating the type
of power saving mode as shown in the following table.
