Thanks for the comments.
I tried to go to standby with one touch, from either the remote or the chassis on/off button. Both turn the unit off ( click!) rather than put it in standby- as claimed in the Sony manual. Contrary to what the manual says, it seems standby doesnt exist.A pity since it uses less power in that imaginary state- according to the manual....
I think I will just leave it on since I agree it sounds better warmed up.
