This operation can however be influenced by external events.  Some of them will require the action of the inner V100A Reference security sys- tem.

                        PAGE 14  VIII.  FAQ    What difference between VENTURE and standard stand-by mode?  VENTURE stand-by mode does not switch off fully the appliance. Only the  power stages are shut-off. They are the main current consumers. The heart  of the amplifier stays warm and operational. This allows to get the full musi- cal quality back in about 10 to 15 minutes after waking the appliance back  up. A standard switch-on of the appliance requires about 8 hours to get that  same level back. The current consum
