by performing the following:

The MCT500 incorporates an Auto Off Feature, which
can automatically place the SACD/CD Transport into

hold in the (Power) Push-button for about 5-10
seconds, at which time the Front Panel Display
indicates “Auto STBY Off”. Refer to figure 44.
2. The MCT500 will switch Off and the LED above
the STAND/BY Push-button will illuminate Red
in color. Press the (Power) Push-button to
switch the MCT500 On.
3. To re-active the Auto Off Feature, press and hold
in the Power Push-button on the Remote Con-
trol for about 5-10 seconds, at which time the Front
Panel Display indicates “Auto STBY On”. Refer to
figure 45.
4. The MCT500 will switch Off and the LED above
the STAND/BY Push-button will illuminate Green
