Turning the power on/off
Once the connections have been completed, turn on the
power to your various devices in the order specified. By
turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other
devices.
Turning the power on
1.
Turn the [VOLUME] knob all the way to the
left to minimize the volume.
NOTE
Before turning the BK-5 on/off, always be sure to turn the
volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you
might hear some sound when switching the BK-5 on/off.
However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
2.
Press the [POWER] switch to turn on the
power.
The power will turn on, an opening message will
appear in the BK-5’s screen, and then the main page
will appear.
After a brief interval, the BK-5 will be ready to pro-
duce sound.
NOTE
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief inter-
val (a few seconds) after power up is required before the
unit will operate normally.
3.
Switch on your amplification system or con-
nect a pair of headphones (see p. 19).
4.
Use the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the vol-
ume.
Turning the power off
1.
Turn the [VOLUME] knob all the way to the
left to minimize the volume.
NOTE
Never switch off the BK-5 while playback or recording is
running or while data are being read from, or written to, an
external USB memory.
2.
Switch off your external amplification sys-
tem if you are using one.
3.
Press the BK-5’s [POWER] switch.
The display will go dark and the power will turn off.
NOTE
If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off
the [POWER] switch, then unplug the power cord from the
power outlet. Refer to “Connecting the AC adaptor” on
p. 16.
Energy saving function
NOTE
The BK-5 has an Auto Off function, which auto-
matically switches off the power after a certain
amount of time has passed without any buttons
being operated.
Shortly before the BK-5 shuts down automatically,
the display starts counting down the seconds. If you
want to keep using the BK-5 at this stage, press any
button.
You can also disable the “Auto Off” function. For
more about the Auto Off function, refer to p. 69.
When the BK-5 is turned off by the “Auto Off” func-
tion, the [POWER] button’s position doesn’t change,
which means that you need to press it once, wait a
few seconds, then press it again to switch the BK-5
back on.
