1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

3

NOTE

When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is

on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
