About power

The MR-8HD operates by AC power. Before you start using the MR-8HD, you must connect the supplied power cord.

Power connection

Connect between the [AC IN] connector on the MR-8HD rear panel and an AC outlet using the sup- plied power cord. The MR-8HD enters the standby mode when the power cord is connected.

About the standby mode

The standby mode is the condition when the power cord is connected and the [POWER] switch is set to OFF. In the standby mode, a small amount of power is consumed and the indicator of the [POWER] switch flashes slowly.

<Note>: When you do not operate the MR-8HD for a long period of time, we recommend disconnecting the power cord.

Turning on the unit

You can turn on or off the MR-8HD power using the [POWER] switch (pointed by an arrow below). To turn off the power, press and hold down the [POWER] switch for a few seconds.
