4.2 Power On / Off
As soon as the V8 amplifer is connected to the mains it will start up up the 
internal operating system. After a few seconds the display will shortly show 
the V8 logo followed by the Power On-Screen (if the amplifier has been 
previously switched off).
This is the screen used to switch the amplifier On / Off. Please touch MENU 
and ENTER simultaneously to switch the amplifier on.
To power off the V8 either navigate to the Power menu or use the Power 
Off Hot Key (see chapter Hot Key Functions). Touch and hold MENU and 
ENTER simultaneously for a few seconds. This will display the power off 
confirmation window.
Now pressing ENTER once will finally switch off the amplifier.
NOTE: Turning the Amplifier off does NOT disconnect the amplifier 
from mains. See also chapter 3.3.
