Thanks for the reply. Right now I'm using the "unplug your player"
method. This works but feels silly to do something so low-tech on
such
a high-tech player! I tried holding LEFT for a few seconds and it
definitely disconnected. I watched the player for a few minutes
afterward and it didn't appear that the screen ever went dim. Does
the
"screensaver" not kick in when you go into setup mode? I was
afraid it
might wear out the screen if I have it in that bright mode all the
time. Plus it would be distracting when I'm watching tv or something.
Good point. Can you file an enhancement request at: http://

By the way, I think you will see this become more and more of an issue
as time goes on. As you can see from all of Intel's current marketing
they are really pushing the low-power aspect of their new dual core
architecture. Plus in the new Windows Vista to come out late next
year
they will be simplifying power-down schemes there. Supposedly there
will be just one power-down mode (as opposed to stand-by and hibernate
now) and it will have "instant on" wake-up. I would guess that more
and more people will start using these methods going forward so it
would be nice to have capabilities for that in place. The few "early
adopters" of this kind of thing like me will be mighty happy too.
Well, the real problem is a limitation in windows.
Wake-On-Lan is designed for just this purpose, but unfortunately
Windows shuts itself down after one minute of being awake. "Wake on
network activity" is probably a little bit overkill, given all the
network enabled applications out there.
