re: remote shutoff.


I bought a new one 9 years ago with a remote--so I could turn
it off in bed.  Well, it draws .8 amps when playing a CD,
and .35 amps when it is "off" but only .02 amps when the
face is removed.


That .35 amps equals 8.4 amps per day, so my camper battery
would go down when parked for 10 days or so.


Some one suggested (correctly, I think) that the .35 amps
is the remote sensor waiting patiently for the remote to
give it a new command, such as "on"....


If the remote can power up the unit, I don't see how that
draw can be avoided.  Mine is a Panasonic.


I take the face off when I'm not camping or driving.
