1Botón e indicador luminoso correspondiente a la Posición de Espera (“Standby”)

El botón Standby del panel frontal hará que el ampliﬁcador conmute entre su modo de funcionamiento plenamente operativo y un modo “de espera” que “desconecta” el aparato aunque dejándolo preparado para que responda a órdenes de control enviadas a través de cualquiera de las opciones de gestión disponibles (entrada de rayos infrarrojos, disparador de corriente continua, Bus CAN o RS-232).

El estado actual del ampliﬁcador es indicado por el indicador luminoso situado en el panel frontal junto al botón Standby. El estado de dicho indicador luminoso indica lo siguiente:

•activado (on) = standby

•parpadeando (durante el arranque) = inicialización

•apagado (off) + indicador luminoso Channel activado = pleno funcionamiento

•parpadeando (después de la puesta en marcha) = tensión de alimentación alterna fuera de rango

Cuando el ampliﬁcador está situado en la posición de espera, sus etapas de ganancia son desactivadas, permaneciendo activados únicamente una pequeña fuente de alimentación y un circuito de control que consumen relativamente poca energía. Afortunadamente, al conducir las etapas de salida corrientes intrínsecamente altas su ampliﬁcador alcanzará su temperatura de funcionamiento óptima (y por tanto proporcionará los mejores resultados musicales posibles) rápidamente.

Si no piensa utilizar el ampliﬁcador durante un largo período de tiempo (quizá porque está de vacaciones), le sugerimos que lo desconecte de la red eléctrica. Antes de hacerlo, asegúrese de que el aparato esté situado en el modo de espera.
