BDS
Power button: The BDS receiver has four different power modes:
Off (On/Standby indicator not illuminated): When the rear-panel Main Power switch
is in the Off position or the power cord is unplugged the BDS receiver is off and
will not respond to any commands. Plugging the power cord into a live AC outlet
and setting the Main Power switch in the On position will put the receiver into the
Standby mode.
Standby (Power indicator glows solid amber): The Standby mode minimizes energy
consumption when you're not using the BDS receiver. When the receiver is in
Standby, it will not automatically turn on or play audio in response to a signal from
an AirPlay device (BDS 277/BDS 577 only) or a Bluetooth device. When the receiver
is in Standby, pressing the Power button turns it on. To put the receiver into Standby
when it is on, press the Power button for more than two seconds. NOTE: To conserve
energy you can have the receiver automatically enter the Standby mode whenever
no control buttons have been pressed and no audio signal has been present for 15
minutes. See General Settings, Auto Standby/Standby Mode, on page 16.
Sleep (Power indicator glows solid amber): The Sleep mode mutes the BDS
receiver's outputs and shuts off its OSD and front-panel display, but allows the
receiver to automatically turn on and play audio in response to a signal from an
AirPlay device (BDS 277/BDS 577 only) or a Bluetooth device. See Listening to Media
via AirPlay, on page 25, for more information. When the receiver is in Sleep, pressing
the Power button turns it on. To put the receiver into Sleep when it is on, press the
Power button momentarily.
On (Power indicator glows solid white): When the BDS receiver is on it is fully
operational.

the TV's power on and off. See Programming the Remote Control, on page 13.

Analog Audio 2, HDMI ARC. Each successive press advances the BDS receiver
through those sources.
