Connecting the power
Turning this unit ON from an z-connected
component
When the DVD player, CD player or MD recorder connected with
the TX-DS494 through z cables is turned on, the TX-DS494
automatically turns on and selects the source that was turned on.
Turning the TX-DS494 off sets the z-connected DVD player,
CD player or MD recorder to standby mode.
When the TX-DS494 is already on, pressing the play button on the
DVD player, CD player, cassette deck or MD recorder merely
selects the input source that was played.
Notes:
•
The function of turning on the TX-DS494 is not available if its
POWER switch is set to the off position (— OFF) or the source
components is not connected properly. When controlling the
TX-DS494 from an z-connected component, make sure that
the POWER switch of this unit is set to the on position (_ ON)
and that the component is connected properly.
•
When a cassette tape deck or MD recorder is connected with
the z connector of this unit, it can be controlled from the
source component selected with the TAPE button.
• Certain component models may not be able to control the
TX-DS494.
Connecting the power
• The TX-DS494 is shipped with the main power (POWER)
switch in the on position (
_ ON
). When the power cord is
plugged in for the first time, the TX-DS494 will automatically
enter the standby state and the STANDBY indicator will light
(same condition after step 2 below).
• Before you plug in the TX-DS494, confirm that all
connections have been made properly.
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall
outlet on a different circuit.
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
2. Press the POWER switch to set the TX-DS494 to
standby state.
The STANDBY indicator lights up.
3. Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn on the
TX-DS494.
The display lights up and the STANDBY indicator turns off.
If you press the STANDBY/ON button again, the receiver
returns to standby mode.
Turning the power on from the remote
controller
Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform steps
1 and 2 above and place the TX-DS494 in the standby state.
Press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote
controller to turn on the TX-DS494 (take it out of
the standby state).
• To return the TX-DS494 to the standby state, press the
STANDBY/ON button on the remote controller.
Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A
built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents
of the memory during power failures and even when the
POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set
to on in order to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been
turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the
unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a
period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been
turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a
highly humid climate.
