The following outlines the normal day-to-day operation of your receiver from the supplied universal remote or 
directly from your receiver’s front panel. The universal remote is also capable of controlling other equipment and 
storing sequences of commonly used commands. Refer to the separate remote manual for details on these 
functions. 

The main power switch on the front panel of your receiver must be on for the receiver to operate. When this 
switch is off all power is removed from your receiver. This prevents turning it back on with the remote control. You 
can use the main power switch for normal day to day operation but we suggest you use the sleep function instead 
so that the receiver can be turned on and off from the remote. After turning on the main power you must wait a 
few seconds while your receiver restores its internal memory. You may want to turn off the main power switch 
when your receiver will be idle for extended periods of time or during periods of power line fluctuations. Your 
receiver will not lose its memory while the main power switch is off.

Normally you will simply put your receiver to sleep (standby) when not in use. Sleep mode keeps a bare minimum 
of functions running in order to allow remote control operation and fast start up. Note that the front panel SLEEP 
button is lit while your receiver is asleep and is off when your receiver is operating. Also note that the remote 
POWER button is a ‘power toggle’ and will put your receiver in and out of sleep. OFF will always put the receiver 
into sleep. B&K or AUDIO will always wake up your receiver and set the remote to control the receiver
