qPOWER switch and STANDBY indicator

You can turn on and off the unit’s power using the front panel power switch.

However, if you turn the unit off with the front panel switch, the unit goes completely off rather than to the “standby mode” (Red LED indicator light glows in the standby mode).

The unit cannot be turned on with the remote control when it is not in the standby mode. When the red LED is on, the unit can be turned on via the remote control, or by turning the input selector knob on the front panel.
