power only when the unit is on. This is
recommended for devices that have no
power switch, or a mechanical power
switch that may be left in the “ON”
position (as for example with the
harman/kardon CDPlayer HD730).
Devices with electronical power switch
may only switch on to standby mode, if
pluged in here.
