Switching off
To switch off Neuron (though we’re keen to know
what reason you might have to ever shut Neuron
down...), briefly press the handsome mains power
switch.
If you have defined the option ask for the switch off
parameter (which is the default setting) in the basic
settings, the following question appears in the
display
Press enter (that’s the knob next to the main
display) in order to shut Neuron down. This process
takes several seconds and is indicated by the display
reading,
Switching off ... .
If you reconsider at the last moment (very sensible of
you), press the exit button so that Neuron remains
powered up.
If the basic settings parameter switch off is set to
quick, Neuron will switch off without further inquiry.
Emergency off
In the unlikely event that Neuron refuses to power
down in the normal "orderly" fashion, you can always
use the emergency off function. Do this by pressing
and holding the mains power switch for five seconds.
We recommend that you have Neuron prompt you
before it powers down; that is, set switch off to ask.
We endowed Neuron with this option to prevent it
from being switched off inadvertently (say because
in his on-stage frenzy your easily excited vocalist
tends to mow down everything in his path).
This option is your last-resort. It is comparable to
pulling the mains plug. So, use it in emergencies
only. Oh, and that telltale popping noise that
indicates a connected device has been switched off
while the sound reinforcement system remains? You
will hear it in all its sonic glory through the audio
outputs!
Beyond that, there is the possibility of data
integrity problems on the hard disk, though
chances of this occurrence are remote.
