STANDBY mode
While the power cord of the set is plugged into an AC power
outlet, the ON/STANDBY (
) key lights in red even when
the power is not switched ON.This indicates that a small amount
of current is being supplied to the unit to back up the memory
contents. This mode is referred to as the Standby mode. While
the ON/STANDBY (
) key is lit, the power of the system
can be switched ON/OFF from the remote control unit.
÷Other functions than the balance control cannot be used because
the audio signals bypass the circuits.
÷Press the key again to switch SOURCE DIRECT off.
AUTO POWER SAVE function
When the power is ON and neither recording nor playback is
executed for 30 minutes or more, the power is switched off au-
tomatically by this function. This function can be made active
or not active by the following operation.
