*With most TV models, the TV sensor must be installed and positioned to detect if the TV is on or off. In Europe, a SCART connector communicates with the TV. If your system setup is different from either of these, using the automatic feature is not an option.

Note: For information on using the TV sensor, refer to “Installing the TV on/off detector” in your

Installation Guide.
