With my Fluke 87 measured 0.236miliamps turned on,and 0,226 in standby, on standby 120v/0.226=530 Ohms,120x120=14.400/530=0.027watts. turned on 120v/0.236=508 ohms,120x120=14.400/508=0.028watts. i don't know if these #s are correct, but if they are than the power consumption is very low and is not that bad,if not than this receivers are not green at all,because no matter what kind of equipment they shouldn't waist as much energy on standby as in on mode.So anybody here is an expert enough to refute my numbers?[/quote]
