Front Panel
1 Standby button & LED indicator
The front panel Standby button will toggle the surround processor
between its fully operational status and a standby mode that leaves the
surround processor 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).
The current state of the surround processor is indicated by the LED on the
standby button on the front panel. When the unit is powered and switched
on, this LED indicates the following:
• On = standby
• Flashing (on power-up) =
initialization
• Off = operate
• Flashing (after power-up) = AC mains voltage out of range
If you are planning not to use the surround processor 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 surround processor 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 will easily jump across a simple power switch. The resulting
surge (which may be many thousands of volts) can damage any piece
of electronics, no matter how well designed and protected. The best
protection in the case of severe electrical storms is simply to remove the
electronics from any connection with the power grid.
