Power Saving Eciency
All REL Sub-Bass System designs ulize a true Power On-O switch that aords the owner the ability to
turn o their unit completely, without having to unplug the A/C mains cord. When a REL Sub-Bass System
is switched o using the Power On-O switch on the rear panel it draws ZERO power.
In addion to the power switch there is an ALWAYS ON/STANDBY mode switch that has two posions.
Up engages the STANDBY circuit and down keeps the unit always on. In addion to the power switch there
is an ALWAYS ON/STANDBY mode switch has two posions. Up engages the STANDBY circuit and down keeps
the unit always on.
The HT/MKII features a standby mode that is enabled when the mode switch on the rear of the unit is set to
the “STANDBY” posion. In this mode, the input signal is constantly monitored for audio acvity. If not audio
informaon is detected over a period of 30 minutes, the unit will enter a low power standby mode in which
less power is consumed. When input signal acvity is detected, the unit resumes normal operaon. By using
the standby mode, you can ensure that there is no unnecessary power draw when the unit is not in use.
Note: Due to variaons in program material, it is impossible to produce a perfectly reliable standby circuit.
Bass rich music or eects will consistently trigger our standby circuit whilst content that is low in volume and
possesses lile or no bass cannot be relied upon to trip the standby funcon.
Alternavely, the user has the opon to leave the unit in the normal operaon mode at all mes by selecng
the “ALWAYS ON” posion of the power mode switch. Leaving a REL on produces the best sonic performance
and the most reliable operaon. In this mode, the unit will not enter standby regardless of whether or not
there is acvity at the input. Using this seng ensures that the HT/MKII is ready to react instantaneously to
bass transients, whether in music or lms.
