Basic Operations
Turning the Power On and Off
Turning the System On
Press the % button.
The display comes on and “HELLO” is displayed once. The
operation indicators light on the Panel. (The Panel opens
automatically if the Unit is placed vertically and the
DISP.SET switch on the rear of the Unit is set to “V”.)
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 listen-
ing 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
Press the % button again.
The Panel closes if it has been opened.
“GOOD BYE” is displayed and the display goes out, except
for the clock display. The % indicator (red) remains lit and the
rest of the operation indicators go out.
■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 AM 12:00 after
about 20 minutes.
