Th

  e front panel Standby button will toggle the amplifi er between operate, 

its fully operational state, and a standby mode that leaves the amplifi er 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).

Th

  e current state of the amplifi er is indicated by the LED indicator in the 

center of the Standby button. Th

  e state of this LED indicates the 

following:

• on 

 

=  

• fl ashing (on power-up) 

=  

• off  + Channel LED on 

=  

operate 

• fl ashing (after power-up) 

=  

When in standby, the amplifi er’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 amplifi er for an extended period of time, 
perhaps while traveling for a vacation, we suggest you disconnect it from 
the AC mains. Please be certain that the amplifi er is in standby prior to 
disconnecting 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. Th

  e best protection in the case of severe electrical 

storms is to simply remove the electronics from any connection with the 
power grid.
