Using the sleep time (remote controller only)
The Sleep button enables you to set the DTC-9.4 to turn off
automatically after a specified time period. If you press it once, the
DTC-9.4 will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed
thereafter, the remaining time until the DTC-9.4 turns off decreases
by 10 minutes (i.e., from 90 to 80 minutes). While, the sleep function
is enabled, you can press the Sleep button to see how much time is
left. If you now press the Sleep button, the remaining time will be
reduced down to the nearest 10 minutes. If it is pressed again, then
the remaining time will be decreased by 10 minutes each time it is
pressed (e.g., if Sleep is pressed with the display reading 54 minutes,
it will be reduced to 50 minutes. If it is pressed again, it will then be
reduced to 40, then 30, and so on). If the Sleep button is pressed
when the time displayed is less than 10 minutes, the sleep function is
cancelled.
If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same
time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone
2 only, set the sleep function with main zone turned on and then put
the main zone into the standby state.
Temporarily turning off the sound
To turn off the sound momentarily, press the MUTE button on the
remote controller. When pressed, “Muting” is displayed on the
DTC-9.4. Press the MUTE button again to turn the sound back on.
