The SDV 3100 HV 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 SDV 3100 HV is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the device for a long period, it should be
disconnected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be
withdrawn from the wall socket.
The device features an automatic power-down function. If the SDV 3100 HV
detects no operation or no 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 any 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 SDV 3100 HV).
