I should have been more clear in my original post. I can do all the usual controls for this unit. What I can't do is specifically get Power On and Power Off to work. 113-ON, 109-OFF don't work; these work for all my other Sony gear so I was suspecting that what edmund said was true. I was hoping there were discrete codes for these functions that someone had come across.

If not, has anyone found a trick to getting the power into a known state? Selecting "Play" works (i.e. it turns the power On regardless of state) but only if there's a tape plugged in. I haven't been able to find any other function that turns the power on.
