Really so when you turn your TV off or other hifi device off then you can NOT turn them back on with a remote right? Cause if they are truly off the remote will NOT be able to turn them back on. Also here is a list of devices that do not have a true power off switch in my house: TV VCR DVD player Coffee maker Fridge Washing Machine and Dryer Every Clock in the house Microwave Stove Toaster Oven Tivo Keep in mind most items with a remote will not have a "TRUE" off state if the user expects to be able to power it on with the remote. Also many devices that use a "soft-touch" button also require power at all times to make that button work. Devices with clocks need power to maintain time. Some devices also stay powered to some level to reduce start-up time. My TV for instance takes forever to power up after I have unplugged it compared to from its soft-off state. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72685 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
