Notes:

Depending on your model, there is a PARTY LIGHT button on the unit or the remote control. Pressing that button will disable the Demo Party Light.
If applicable to your unit, setting the clock on your stereo system will also disable the DEMO mode.
For some models, using the buttons on a supplied remote control will not disable the demonstration mode.
