Hi Elias!
Just a thought of how to get things running later on in the EU, because of the new "energy save" laws over here.
They will force to have any product (at least "entertainmant electronics") must be very restrictive with their power-draw in stanby modes.
So, if the product doesn't have a dedicated "hard off" switch, the stand-by consumption must be limited to a very low draw (lets say ~1 Watt).
I don't have the correct numbers/values at hand, but maybe it would be a good idea to get in contact with your european distributers to sort that one out.
Greetings
Harald
P.S.:
