The front panel Standby button will toggle the player between its fully operational status and a standby mode that leaves the player off, yet ready to respond to system commands via any of the supported control options (e.g. IR input, DC trigger, CAN Bus, or RS-232).

The current state of the player is indicated by the LED on the Standby button on the front panel. When the unit is powered and switched on, this LED indicates the following:

On

=

standby

Flashing (on power-up)

=

initialization

Off

=

operate

Flashing (after power-up)

=

AC mains voltage out of range

If you are not going to use the player for an extended period of time, e.g. vacation or other travel, we suggest you disconnect it from the AC mains. Please be certain that the player is in standby prior to disconnecting it from the AC mains.

Also, it is a good practice to physically disconnect any and all valuable electronics from the AC mains during electrical storms, as a lightning strike anywhere near your home can put a tremendous surge on the AC mains that will easily jump across a simple power switch. The resulting surge (which may be many thousands of volts) can damage any piece of electronics, no matter how well designed and protected. The best protection in the case of severe electrical storms is simply to remove the electronics from any connection to the power grid.
