panel is in the Off position. The STB will not be operational in this power mode.
2.
Standby mode: This is when the power cable is plugged into a wall outlet, the Power On/Off Switch on
the rear panel is in the On position, and the user has not pressed [POWER]. In Standby mode, the
current time will be visible on the STB’s front panel display.
3.
