Thanks so much for the wonderful insights from this expert community.

I'm having trouble with the registration system for this forum (not getting the confirmation email after multiple attempts), so that's why I'm posting anonymously. Anyway, I have my PowerGate set up and I really love it, despite the fact that it gets insanely hot while in use. I added an AC Infinity fan below it to cool it down a bit, and that works well, but I still have an issue with it going into standby mode... I have applied the latest firmware updates, and for me it doesn't go into standby while it's receiving an audio source, but it when it goes into standby after NOT receiving a signal, I have to turn it back on myself in order to use it. This is frustrating because all of my equipment is in a cabinet, and my system is otherwise fully automated. I'm using the Caavo Control Center to control my TV and all of my other devices, so the PowerGate is the only thing that doesn't come on automatically, even when the TV starts sending audio to it. Basically, all of my devices go through the Caavo, which connects to the TV via HDMI, then the TV audio is sent to the PowerGate through the optical input. Certainly there must be a way to make it so that the PowerGate wakes up once it detects a signal, right? The odd thing about it is that sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) I don't need to turn it back on after many hours of not using it, so it's not as if it just goes into standby automatically after 15 mins with no signal. I finally have a system where everything is controlled by one single remote with full automation, so it's annoying that this one component needs to be manually turned on every time I want to hear anything. I have the Powergate volume being controlled by the Caavo, but can't figure out any way to make it turn the amp on automatically. Any ideas?
