POWERING UP

mode.
Press the POWER button to turn on the 1012. The indicator will
change to amber and power will be applied to the analog audio section.
If a digital input was previously selected, power will also be applied to
the DSP, D/A Converter, and analog low-pass filter sections which are
used only for digital signals.

shown.
The front panel POWER button should be used for everyday turn
