Music Mode.
Press the circuit breaker button on the side

The multi-sensor must be connected to the
APS+ , the TV must be plugged into the
outlet labeled < tv > and IR signal from
any remote must be received to supply
power to the switched outlets.
Alternatively, press the button on the
multi-sensor to manually supply power to
the switched outlets.
Make sure that the TV is plugged into the
outlet labeled < tv >.
Make sure that the TV peripherals are

The switched outlets will turn off within one
minute of the TV turning off.
This is a notification that your TV and
peripheral electronics plugged into the
switched outlets will shut off in 10 minutes.
The countdown timer shuts off the TV and
peripherals after 30/60/120 minutes if no
Infrared (IR) remote signal or motion is
detected by the sensor. To reset the timer
for another 30/60/120 minutes, press any
button on an IR remote control or move in
front of the multi-sensor.

How does the APS+ save energy?
The APS+ saves energy two ways:

• After the TV is turned off, the switched outlets turn off within one
minute and no longer draw any power.
2) Monitors activity and powers down unused electronics
• In TV Mode, all switched outlets turn off if there is no IR remote
activity or motion detected during the countdown period.
• In Music Mode, all switched outlets turn off after eight hours.
• By using the optional TAV-Link cable, HDMI-connected peripherals
capable of receiving CEC commands will automatically soft-switch
off or enter a power saving mode if there is no IR remote activity
or motion detected during the countdown period.
