Placing CSR in Standby Mode

[MikeKlim]

Is there a way to do this when it's already on? Or does one have to power it down, then back up again to put it standby?

What do you mean by "stand by mode?"

What do you mean by "stand by mode?"

Basically when you first power it up, and prior to choosing a platform (PC, xbox 360, ps3), the display will show "---". The manual, page 19, refers to this as "standby" mode. It's also referenced again when instructing the user regarding turning the fan on/off.

I'm just wondering if there's a way to put it on standby and switch platforms without powering it down, then back up again.

In case you don't have the manual:

However, it doesn't really mention going into standby mode without turning off the wheel.

Edit: Sorry, I see you mentioned the manual lol. I am tired.

I know it will go into standby mode when connected to the XBOX and the controller "auto-off" setting is enabled; of course that takes a couple of minutes without any input from the user. But, I will tinker with it today and let you know what I find.



Turning off the XBOX disconnects the wheel and puts it into standby mode. However, doing the same on the PS3 the wheel will stay in PS3 mode. I can't speak for PC; but I assume the same as PS3.

Doesn't look like there is a way to go into standby without turning it off when connected to PS3.

After tinkering a little more myself, I'm finding the same thing.

Thanks for the help!
