Turning the Power On and Off

Turning the System On

Press the % button.
The Top Cover moves backward and the Unit’s top buttons
appear. The display comes on and “HELLO” is displayed
once. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in green.
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 Top Cover moves back to the original position.
“GOOD BYE” is displayed and the display goes out, except
for the clock display. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in
red.
❏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 after about
20 minutes.

Adjusting the Brightness

(DIMMER)

You can adjust the brightness of the backlighting for the dis-
play.

When the System is Turned On

Each time you press the DIMMER button on the Remote
Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as fol-
lows:
Bright = Dark = (back to the beginning)

When the System is Turned Off

(STANDBY MODE)

Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as fol-
lows:

• When the System is turned off again after power on, the
brightness in Standby mode will be restored to the previ-
ous one since the brightness setting in Standby mode is
stored in memory.

press the VOLUME – button to decrease it.
You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.
CAUTION:

• DO NOT turn off the System with the vol-

or start playing any source next time.

level while the System is in standby mode.

ting on headphones.
