kooking for a good switched mains socket.

Does anyone know of a good switched mains socket / strip. I am looking at something that will switch a mains socket when my Onkyo 805 Receiver turns on / goes into standby. I have looked at the Intelliplug / Intellipanel range but they seem to also switch off the Reciever after a short while. I would like to use the Onkyo Switched 240v AC outlet but that does not have enough power but something that could be switched by that output would be ideal.

Then you would want a Double pole relay controlled by 240V AC Maplins aell them but you will need to build a safe enclosure. (often easier to use the 12V out as that will happily run a relay and save the 240V out.

Thanks for the info, I had considered that but when I checked the manual, the 12v out is only for zone 2. It may be the 240v system then if I cannot find anything else.
