Turning the Power On and Off

Turning the System On

1Press the STANDBY/ON button.
The display comes on. The STANDBY indicator goes out.
The System comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in
when the power was last turned off.
For example, if the last thing you were doing was listening
to a CD, you are now ready to listen to a CD again. If you
wish, you can change to another source.
If you were listening to the Tuner last, the Tuner comes on
playing the station it was last set to.

Turning the System Off

1Press the STANDBY/ON button again.
The display goes out, except for the clock display. The
STANDBY indicator lights up. (The display is dimmed.)
• Some power is always consumed even though power is
turned off (called Standby mode).
To switch off the System completely, unplug the AC power
cord from the wall outlet. When you unplug the AC power
cord, the clock will be reset to 0:00 immediately.

ECO Mode (ECO)

The System has three energy modes; power on, power off (Stand-
by) and ECO. In ECO mode, the display goes off and the least
power is consumed.
To enter ECO mode, press the ECO button on the Unit in Stand-
by mode (while the STANDBY indicator lights up). The display
goes off. The STANDBY indicator remains lit.
To cancel ECO mode and turn on the power, press the
STANDBY/ON button on the Unit for a second.
To cancel ECO mode and enter Standby mode, press the
ECO button again for a second.
