Strömbrytarens POWER beredskapsläge
Indikatorn STAND BY lands after nätkabelns anslutning till all vägguttag, oavsett strömbrytarens POWER till/frànslag. Detta anger att en liten mängd ström leds till komponenten som stöd för minnesinnehállet. Detta läge kallas för beredskapsläget. Strömbrytaren pà fjärrkontrollen kan användas för att slà pà och av strömmen sä länge indikatorn STAND BY lyser.
Virtanappäimen (POWER) valmiustiia (STAND BY)
Kun laitteen verkkojohto on liitetty pistorasiaan, valmiustilan merkkivalo syttyy riippumatta virtanäppäimen (POWER) ásennosla (ON/OFF). Merkkivalo osoittaa, että laitteessa on hieman virtaa muistin sisältöjen ylläpitoa varíen. Tätä tilaa kutsutaan valmiustilaksi. Kun valmiustilan merkkivalo (STAND BY) palaa, laitteen virta voidaan kytkeä ja katkaista kaukosäätimellä.
Afbrydertastens (POWER) STAND BY funktion
När apparatets str(|>mledning er tilsluttet en stikkontakt, lyser STAND BY Indikatoren, uanset om der er taendt ved afbryderen pä apparatet eher ej. Det angiver, at apparatet bliver forsynet med en ganske lille maengde stri|)m til opret-holdelse af hukommelsens indhold. Denne funktion kaldes STAND BY. När STAND BY Indikatoren er taendt, kan str<|)mmen til apparatet släs
