The power will turn on, and the display will light up.

*Minimize the volume before you turn on the power. Even if the volume is minimized, you may hear sound when turning on the power, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

*Due to a circuitry-protection feature, this unit requires a few moments after it has been powered up before it is ready for normal operation.

*If the power is turned off while a Factory Reset is being executed (p. 26), the internal data will be lost, and it may take some time to start up the next time you switch on the VR-700’s power.

3.Switch on the power to any external equipment that is connected.

4.Adjust the volume of any external equipment that is connected.

5.Adjust the VR-700’s volume to an appropriate level.
