Quoting Udo:
"Products of this design type use extra components to give the ability to switch off most circuitry. This means added space and cost. The DVD32, 100x5R, 250MR or 250x3R use this method of standby. Their standby consumption is around 3W Well, I learnt my lesson from the AV32R, didnt I? "
I cannot seem to link to the original post with the mobile app, but found it with a forum search.
I've been turning of the whole AV system, including the Subs because I'm anxious about burning the power supplies out. hate to think what I'd do if I couldn't use this stuff and couldn't get it repaired.
Dave if you're worried about forgetting why not buy a 'smart' power strip or whatever they are called (depending who makes it), have your processor/tv/oppo as the the trigger device so when turned off amp turns off shortly after.
