•When using the TU 970 for the first time, it will be placed in a standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 1. Once the unit is in standby, you may begin a lis- tening session by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Power On button 0on the remote control. Note that the Power Indicator 1 will turn blue. To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session simply press the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Standby button 0 on the remote. This places the unit in the Stand- by mode, and the Power Indicator 1 will turn amber to remind you that the unit is ready for operation when a power command is received from the remote.
When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off by unplugging it from the AC wall outlet. Note that the backup system in the TU 970 will retain information such as programmed presets for 14 days.
•To dim the brightness of the front panel dis- play, press the Dimmer button 8 on the front panel. The first press will dim the lights to half normal. A second press will turn the display to normal brightness again.

The current station list will remain in the memo- ry of the TU 970. It can be updated by running the Autotune function 64as described above, or deleted by resetting the TU 970’s memory (see page 11).
NOTE: The station list can be shown in different order. For more info, see page 9.
It can occur that one of the stations in your list is temporarily not available. A “?” symbol will be visible in front of the station name to indicate such a station. If you select the station, the Information Display 7 will show STATION NOT AVAILABLE, and will go back to the current radio station.
