After turning on the power

Each time you turn on the power, the RM-2 is muted and the "MUTE" indicator flashes. (Figure 1 below
shows the condition of the status information section when you first turn on the power after purchas-
ing the RM-2.)
To use the RM-2, therefore, press the [CH SEL] key to unmute the RM-2 (see Figure 2 below).
The "MUTE" indicator turns off. In particular conditions, the system mute function works and the RM-
2 is automatically muted, while you can manually mute it whenever you want. See page 6 for details.

<Notes>: When switching the input signal (be-
tween analog and digital), the system mute
function works and unit is automatically
muted for a while (the [MUTE] indicator
lights). This prevents the noise from being
generated from the speaker units when
switching the signal. Muting is automatically
released after a few seconds.
See page 6 for details about the system mute
function.
