Ayre Acoustics V-1x Power Amplifier - Manual (Page 7)

Operation
The master power switch on
the rear panel also
incorporates a circuit breaker.
There are two power switches on the Ayre V-1x. The master
power switch on the rear panel is normally intended to be
left on. The front-panel switch selects between the
“Standby” and “Operate” modes.
The Ayre V-1x features a sophisticated power monitoring
system. When first plugged in to an AC power source, the
front panel indicator light will glow red for approximately
90 seconds. During this time, the unit is in “Warm-Up”
mode and the front-panel switch is inoperable.
The remote control can also be
used to select the “Standby”
and “Operate” modes.
After the circuitry has stabilized, the indicator light will
change to green, indicating that the unit is in “Standby”
mode and is ready for operation. When the listener presses
the front-panel switch, the unit is in “Operate” mode and
the indicator light glows blue.
In the “Standby” mode the output stage is turned off, while
the input circuitry remains powered. This allows the unit to
warm-up quickly for optimal sonic performance, while
reducing the power consumption from 300 watts to 30
watts.
