The North American model doesn’t have this switch. This is the main power switch. When set to OFF, the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is completely shutdown. When set to ON, the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is in Standby mode and the STANDBY indicator lights up.

Don’t turn on the power until you’ve completed, and double checked all connections (pages 10–23).

Note:

Turning on the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E may cause a momen- tary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E into a different branch circuit.
