Power off the player

The player's power consumption is so low that it can be left running all the time - to save power, activate the display power saving because the display is consuming a lot more power than the player itself.

To safely disconnect the player from the power network, it is strongly recommended to follow these steps:

Shut down the player, as described below.
Warning:
Unplugging the player from the power network without a prior shutdown, especially in a repetitive manner, could cause content loss and/or hardware problems!
Wait until the player has shut down completely - the power (PWR) LED is briefly blinking red once every two seconds.
Unplug the power supply unit from the power network and/or the power supply cable from the player's power port.

The player can be shut down using one of the following methods:

Open the Control Center → Operations → Maintenance page and click the "Shutdown Now" button.
Press the power button for 3 seconds.
Send a shutdown RPC command. This is for advanced users.

Notes:

The player has shut down completely when there is no video signal on the displaying device and the power (PWR) LED is slowly blinking red.
After the player has been shut down, it can be started by briefly pressing its power button or by physically reconnecting it to the electrical network.
Players deal differently with high internal temperature – some models may automatically shut down in order to cool down. The device will automatically restart when the internal temperature in less than the threshold value.
