What I did was to use one of the remote power outs on the back of my NAD and I let that trigger the remote turn on/off on the Monster HTS I have. So when I used the remote to turn the NAD off it will automatically turn of the 4 components I had connected to the Monster HTS. and when I turned it on it did the reverse and switched them back on. This is kind of an expensive way to do things but my main reason for purchasing the Monster HTS was to clean up my power source. THe auto switching/triggering was an added bonus for me. It even has delayed turn on.
