Basic operation
2.1
First operation / self test
In case your Media Player was not connected to mains a self test will be performed when it is switched
on by the mains switch (34) for the first time. The unit will check its configuration and that all the
installed components work properly. The procedure is shown in the display. Afterwards the unit will
switch to stand-by.
2.2
Switching on / stand-by
Using the button power (1) you can switch between on (operate) and stand-by. In the on state the
display (8) lights up and the LED (7) is off. In stand-by mode the display is off and the LED is on to
indicate that the unit is still connected to mains.
CAUTION:
When switched to stand-by the unit is still connected to the mains. In case of a
thunderstorm or if you leave the house for a longer time we recommend that you switch the amplifier
off by using the mains switch (34) or pull the mains plug.
