Front Panel

1 Standby button & LED indicator
Th e front panel Standby button will toggle the integrated amplifi er
between operate, its fully operational state, and a standby mode that leaves
the integrated amplifi er off , yet ready to respond to system commands via
any of the supported control options (e.g. IR input, DC trigger, CAN-Bus,
or RS-232).
Th e current state of the integrated amplifi er is indicated by the LED on
the standby button on the front panel. When the unit is powered and
switched on, the state of this LED indicates the following:
• on
• fl ashing (on power-up)
• off
• on (dim)
• fl ashing (after power-up)
If you are planning not to use the integrated amplifi er for an extended
period of time, e.g. vacation or other travel, we suggest you disconnect it
from the AC mains. Please be certain that the integrated amplifi er is in
standby prior to disconnecting it from the AC mains.
Also, it is a good practice to physically disconnect any and all valuable
electronics from the AC mains during electrical storms, as a lightning strike
anywhere near your home can put a tremendous surge on the AC mains
that can damage any piece of electronics, no matter how well designed
and protected. Th e best protection in the case of severe electrical storms is
simply to remove the electronics from any connection with the power grid.
