Notes on Energy Saving

The PA 2000 R satisfies the requirements of the latest directives concerning
energy-saving measures (EuP directive). The modern design of the mains
power supply makes an important contribution to this.
The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are
not currently required are automatically switched off. The micro-processor itself
operates in stand-by mode at a relatively low clock speed, and only responds to
the remote control receiver.
In stand-by mode the current drain of the PA 2000 R is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the amplifier for a long period, it should be discon-
nected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be withdrawn from the
wall socket.
The amplifier features an automatic power-down function. If the PA 2000 R
detects no operation or no or a low music signal for a period longer than ninety
minutes, it automatically switches to stand-by mode. Two minutes before the
device enters the standby mode, a pop-up window appears on the screen. If the
device should stay in operation please press the  button while this
message is displayed.

In countries outside the EU, in which the EuP directive has no validity, the
automatic power-down feature can be disabled if necessary (see chapter
entitled 'Basic settings of the PA 2000 R').

Firmware update

If you are operating the PA 2000 R in conjunction with a MP 2000 R, the
firmware update of the PA 2000 R can be carried out in a convenient way via
the R2Link connection.
The update can be done either through the Internet connection or the USB port
of the MP 2000 R.
The exact method of updating the firmware is described in detail in the
MP 2000 R`s user manual.
