Sony UBP-X800 Still Draws Power When Turned OFF

[Verdinut]

Today I touched the top of my UBP-X800 and I noticed that close to the AC cord input, the touch is slightly warmer than the rest of the surface. The KillAWatt meter indicates Watt: 5.4 and VA: 13.3
I wonder why. Would there be some sort of standby mode? My 2 Oppo BD players do have a standby mode but they feature a pilot bulb showing it.

A lot of electronic products and appliances indeed consume power when turned off. You would be surprised if you checked some with a KillAWatt tester or other appropriate product.

That is the draw for the auto on circuit and for the device to be ready to receive input from the remote. The power supply has to be in low power mode to power those circuits. Practically all devices consume some power these days when off.

Power off and standby aren't the same thing....
