HDD AUDIO PLAYER

HAP-Z1ES

Setting the Network Standby function (Network Standby)

When you set the Network Standby function to [On], you can start up or operate the HDD AUDIO PLAYER via the

network even when the HDD AUDIO PLAYER is in standby mode.

1. Select [Settings] - [System Settings] in the Home screen.

2. Select [Network Standby].

3. Select [On].

Descriptions of menu settings

Selectable menu items are described below.

On:

The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is connected to the network at all times, even when the unit is turned off. This allows you to

start up or operate the HDD AUDIO PLAYER from the HAP Music Transfer or HDD Audio Remote application. This

mode also reduces the startup time of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER.

Off:

The power consumption is lower than when the Network Standby function is set to [On], but the startup time when the

HDD AUDIO PLAYER is turned on is longer (factory default setting).
