Switches the unit on and off. The light indicates the status of the 
amplifier. 
When you switch your amplifier on, the light glows amber for a 
few seconds, during which time the speakers are disconnected. 
The light changes to green when the amplifier is ready for use. A 
red light means the amplifier is in standby mode.
The light may flash if a fault has occurred somewhere in the 
system (the fault type is shown on the front panel display of 
the A80). You should unplug the amplifier and leave it for a few 
minutes before reconnecting. If the fault cannot be cleared, 
unplug your amplifier and contact your Arcam dealer.

connected.
