Yup.  In fact, if you think about it, any device that can be "turned
on" via a remote must actually be ON already in order to receive and
understand the remote's command to "turn on".  You correctly worded
this as in stand by, not actually OFF.

I suppose they could add a selection of menu options in SC7 settings
for remote commands.  Like:  do not allow unit to turn on it's screen
or audio until the following sequence is recognized (PWR + VOL keys
pressed simultaniously).

I'd actually like to see this same idea of (optional) sequential remote
key commands for the SB3 brightness button as well!  The brightness
button is also used to change the screen displays (VU meter, spectrum,
remaining time, etc...)  When trying to adjust brightness, if I
accidentally hit the brightness button twice, I now have to scroll
through ALL of the different screen settings to get back to where it
was.    :)

And I know people who use Add to Playlist via the remote would like
this feature as a preset playlist can be wiped out with the wrong use
of ADD, or something like that.    :)
