Phil,

If you are looking at a unit where by simply plugging the controlling device into a AC outlet on it, and it in turn powers up the entire system - the sensing outlet should have a sensitivity adjustment. I have such a unit from Radio Shack many years ago.. it has a always on outlet, a sensing outlet and 4 switched outlets. When a device as a receiver, television or even a clock radio that is connected, everything goes on.

Also there are units such as the Panamax 1000+ which has a trigger power supply cord - you plug it into the switched outlet of your preamp or receiver, and it takes over. A pair of always on outlets are provided.

: Hi

: I have an older Sony CD Player which has no IR controllable ON/OFF switch. And my old JVC Amplifier doesn't provide a socket for "slave" devices.
: There are these Master/Slave sockets, where you can plug one master and several slave devices. When the master is turned on, all other devices are power supplied as well. Now my question: The Amplifier still needs some eletric power in standbye mode. Would the slave devices only turn on if the master needs a lot of electricity or would they always be supplied even if the master was only supplied a small amount of el. power?
: thanks for your help.
