automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the
TX-DS696 will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed
thereafter, the remaining time until the TX-DS696 turns off
decreases by 10 minutes. While, the sleep function is enabled, you
can press the SLEEP button to see how much time is left. To cancel
the sleep function, press the SLEEP button when the time displayed
is less than 10 minutes.
If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same
time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone
2 only, set the sleep function with main zone turned on and then put
the main zone into the standby state.
