Power indicator/Power button:
The AVR has three different power modes:
• Off (Power indicator glows solid amber): The Off mode minimizes energy
consumption when you’re not using the AVR. When the AVR is off, it will not
automatically turn on or play audio in response to a DLNA DMR stream from a
networked device. When the AVR is off, pressing the Power button turns it on.
To turn the AVR off when it is on, press the Power button for more than three
seconds. The Front-Panel Display will indicate “Your device is switched off” for
two seconds, then will switch off.
