(Upgrader’s note: Elgar plus units manufactured before February 2001 have a
Power switch on the rear panel, the Standby button will not switch the unit on
and off. Also, the functions of the Status and Input indicators were different.)
Standby Button x
This button doubles as a power on / off switch and a standby mode switch.
To switch on, press the Standby button. If power is available, the PWR
indicator will light and Elgar Plus will run through the power up routine. (Note
that the Standby button will not click when turning power on – this is normal.)
When you have finished listening, press the Standby button briefly to set the
unit to standby mode. The Analogue Outputs will mute, all displays will turn off
except the green LED above the Standby button and the PWR indicator on the
Status Indicator. In this mode, Elgar Plus uses less power but stays warm.
To restore normal operation, press the Standby button briefly again. The
Standby LED will turn off and Elgar Plus will power up ready for use.
To switch off completely, press the Standby button and hold it for a few
seconds until the Main Display shows PowerDn, then release it.
