The front panel Standby button will toggle the amplifier between operate, 

its fully operational state, and a standby mode that leaves the amplifier off, 

yet ready to respond to system commands via any of the supported control 

options (e.g. IR input, DC trigger, CAN-Bus, or RS-232).

The current state of the amplifier is indicated by the LED status indicator 

in the Standby button. The state of this LED indicates the following:

•  on (red)

      standby

•  flashing (blue)

      initialization

•  on (blue) 

operate 

slow flashing (red) 

When in standby, the amplifier’s gain stages are powered down. Only a

small power supply and control circuit remain on, consuming relatively 

little power. Fortunately, since the output stages by their nature conduct a 

great deal of current, they warm up and sound their best very quickly.

If you are not going to use the amplifier for an extended period of time, we 

suggest you disconnect it from the AC mains. 

Also, it is a good practice to physically disconnect any and all valuable 

electronics from the AC mains during electrical storms, as a lightning 

strike anywhere near your home can put a tremendous surge on the AC 

mains that can easily damage any piece of electronics, no matter how well 

designed and protected. The best protection in the case of severe electrical 

storms is to simply remove the electronics from any connection with the 

power grid.
