To wall outlet

Connecting the power

•The HT-R490 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 HT-R490 will automatically enter the standby state and the STANDBY indicator will light (same condition after step 2 below).

•Before you plug in the HT-R490, 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 HT-R490 to standby state.

The STANDBY indicator lights up.

3.Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn on the HT-R490.

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 HT-R490 in the standby state.

Press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote controller to turn on the HT-R490 (take it out of the standby state).

•To return the HT-R490 to the standby state, press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote controller.

Turning this unit ON from an z-connected component

When the DVD player, CD player or MD recorder connected with the HT-R490 through z cables is turned on, the HT-R490 automatically turns on and selects the source that was turned on. Turning the HT-R490 off sets the z-connected DVD player, CD player or MD recorder to standby mode.

When the HT-R490 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 HT-R490 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 HT-R490 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 HT-R490.

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.
