When the AC power supply
cord is plugged in, “– – – –”
flashes on the unit display. ≥Last time you used the unit, was the cord removed from the power outlet

“Power-Save Mode”. ≥When the number of tracks recorded to the HDD increases, it will take more time
for the unit to start up.

I set the unit to “Quick-Start
Mode”, but it starts up slow. ≥In some cases, the unit manages the system for stable operation for several tens of
seconds while the unit is turned off. During this period, if the unit is turned on, it
can take time to start up (“Starting now. Please wait” is displayed). Furthermore,
during system management, the standby indicator (red) will turn off briefly and a
“click” sound may be heard.
