I'm a bit skeptical. The players I've seen with mechanical power switches do not respond to any Power IR commands at all. I mean not just a push button power switch, but one that you push and it stays in, then you push again and it comes back out.
I don't understand why these were ever made, but it's probably another example of a manufacturer not having a clue how remote control systems should be constructed for use in the real AV world.
The workaround is to leave it on all the time and be sure you have a CD STOP command in your power-down macro. In fact, it would be good to have a CD STOP command in every other source macro just to be sure you don't wear the thing out.
Imagine the stupidity of a 300-disc player in PLAY that can't be turned off by remote! When the unit's stopped, the motors turn off and so don't wear out, but if a player like that is left in PLAY, it can go for more than a week!
