As said, trial and error.

Also, check to see if there are any workarounds. It could be that a play command will turn on your CD changer, so you could turn it on that way, and the system off macro would have to have cd play (to ensure it is on), then power (to turn it off once you know it is on).

My favorite is that most DVDs and some VCRs turn on with play; my least favorite is the DVD that turns on with eject. The drawer has to open and close on every power off macro!

I have seen a Zenith LCD that turns on with channel up; there are some A/V units that turn on with an input selection. Check around.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
