POWER switch and STANDBY indicator
You can turn on and off the unit’s power using the front panel power
switch.
However, if you turn the unit off with the front panel switch, the unit
goes completely off rather than to the “standby mode” (Red LED
indicator light glows in the standby mode).
The unit cannot be turned on with the remote control when it is not in
the standby mode. When the red LED is on, the unit can be turned on
via the remote control, or by turning the input selector knob on the
front panel.
