The MusicCAST server has four different standby and power modes, and uses each in a specific set of
circumstances. The MusicCAST server consumes power in all modes, however standby modes generally
consume less power than when the MusicCAST is in power on mode.
The following diagram illustrates the MusicCAST server standby and power on modes, and the actions required
to move between them. The figures in brackets indicate the amount of electricity consumed per hour in that
particular mode.
If you do not use the MusicCAST server for more than 30 minutes, it is not encoding MP3 files, and there are no
MusicCAST clients turned on and connected to the MusicCAST server, it automatically places itself in LAN
standby mode, regardless of your standby mode settings.
MusicCAST server standby and power modes
Do not disconnect the MusicCAST server from AC power when it is in Sleep mode. When disconnecting the
MusicCAST server from AC power, always press and hold STANDBY/ON for at least 2 seconds to place it in
standby mode before disconnecting it from the AC outlet.
