I am a MX700 owner and love it. I now know I can never own a toggle only device. Now it is time to buy a VCR
I posted a similar question to the discrete hunters but I'll post it here too.
How do the elite of the home theater world shop for a component.
A) Load their remotes with a variety of discrete on/off and take it to the store?
B) Bring home a unit - try it out?
C) Other ________
Thank you for your thoughts

Not that this addresses what equipment to buy, but some components will allow for a work around. For example, my dvd player always comes on when the play button is pressed. I can use this to my advantage to always know what state the unit is in. For the on button, I send play and stop. This prevents it from turning off. For off, do the same thing and add the power button. So you are always turning it on then off.
This might expand your options.

Also, know your brands. You can probably find out which equipment has discretes by the history of the company. For instance most JVC VCR's have discretes so if a new model comes out there is a good chance it will have them as well. I would look at the various VCR brands in the 700 and see if which brands have them have power on/off on the LCD screen. You might want to take it to the store with you to check it. You easily use the VCR's store remote to see if it comes on with the play button.

BTW, I don't know if the very cheapest model JVC's do but if you spend a $100 or > on one it will.

JVC VCRs also have discretes for inputs and eject as well as on and off.

Update
I chose to start a fresh with a new Sony (SLV-N750) which works just fine. I don't want to jinx this, but the home theater now works flawlessly. Thank you for all the input.
