My new Onkyo 606 is sat tin a cabinet without anything hooked up. It is waiting for my speaker wire before I even think about adding the hdmi's etc. I had left it plugged in (still no wires in it) and on standby. I was amazed to find it red hot last night. Is this right? If so... how you you conserve power with one if it uses so much when doing NOTHING! Surely I don't have to hit the mains switch every night, or when it is not in use?! What is the point of standby mode?! Or... have I been daft and missed something here???? I know chargers stay hot when they are not charging, but this thing wasn't powered on, and the standby setting must do something!!!!
 
Assuming you've followed the manual's instructions about space around the unit, there's not reason it should be hot either on or off.
