FUNCTIONS.
1. POWER
The green standby indicator shows that power is
being supplied to the AV 316, but the system is cur-
rently off. Pressing the power switch turns the unit on
and supplies power to the switched AC outlets. The

Pressing the power switch again will turn the AV
316 back into Standby mode. In Standby, the AV 316
stores the current input and mode settings in a non-
volatile memory and re-selects these modes when it
is next switched on. The AV 316 also uses the non-
volatile memory to store pre-set information, both for
the tuner and for the Dolby Pro Logic set-up, so that
these are not lost when the unit is switched to stand-
by or disconnected from the AC supply for up to two
weeks, after two weeks the Memory is lost). During
normal operation the standby indicator lights to show
when a signal is being received from the Remote
