1 Standby button & LED indicator
The front panel Standby button will toggle the surround processor between its
fully operational status and a standby mode that leaves the surround processor 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 surround processor 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 planning not to use the surround processor 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 surround processor 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 with the power grid.
