The C700 offers Vacation Mode, fully powering off with minimal power consumption (less than 0.5W), rendering it inaccessible via the network or BluOS Controller App. Additionally, the Amplifier Standby Mode, with power consumption under 6W, automatically switches to Standby Mode after 20 minutes of inactivity, maintaining network connection.
Amplifier Standby Mode
When Amplifier Standby Mode is enabled, the C700 automatically switches to Standby Mode when there is no user interaction or active source input for 20 minutes. However, the Player maintains network connection at Standby Mode with reduced system performance. The unit's power consumption is less than 6W.
To enable Amplifier Standby Mode, perform the following steps:
- Press and hold the VOLUME-MENU knob until the display shows the Sources, My Presets, and Settings options.
- Rotate the VOLUME-MENU knob to highlight Settings and press it.
- When the Player option is highlighted, press the VOLUME-MENU knob to select it.
- Rotate the VOLUME-MENU knob to highlight Amplifier Standby.
- Press the VOLUME-MENU knob to configure the Amplifier Standby as:
- Enabled: Automatically switches to Standby Mode when there is no user interaction or active source input for 20 minutes. To wake it up, press the VOLUME-MENU knob or the < > buttons on the front panel.
- Disabled: Automatic standby mode is disabled.
