POWER ON/OFF CONTROLS  
Starting your system  
Turning on your TV  
Press the power button on the remote or on the  
console.  
If you programmed your remote during the initial  
setup, press the TV power button on the remote  
control to turn on your TV. Otherwise, use the  
remote that came with your TV.  
To keep energy consumption to a minimum, the system  
operates in a very low power state when in standby (off)  
mode. Because of this, the system requires several  
seconds to start. The power LED on the console  
changes to blinking green while the system starts up.  
When it changes from blinking to solid green, your  
system is on and ready to use.  
Shutting down your system  
Press the power button on the remote or on  
the control console. The system will shut down  
automatically after a few seconds. However, if  
you decide to access the power controls for  
connected devices, automatic shutdown will be  
stopped and you must complete the shutdown  
using the on-screen controls.  
Pressing the remote SOURCE button also  
starts your system and puts the SOURCE  
menu on your TV screen.  
Pressing the Setup button on the console  
also starts your system and puts the Setup  
menu on your TV screen.
