<Note>: When you do not operate the MR-8HD/CD for a long period of time, we recom-
mend disconnecting the power cord.
About the standby mode
The standby mode is the condition when the power cord is connected and the [POWER]
switch is set to OFF. In the standby mode, a small amount of power is consumed and the
indicator of the [POWER] switch flashes slowly.
When you press the [POWER] switch to
turn on the power for the first time, the
MR-8HD/CD starts up and the display
shows the screen as below (note that it
takes some time until the screen as be-
low is shown).
This screen shows that the demo song is
loaded and stopped at the beginning (ABS
0) of the song named "FOSTEX_FEVER".
Follow the procedure described on the
next page to play back the demo song.
