Can anyone tell me about the power consumption in standby mode? My old TX-NR616 consumes around 40 watts in standby mode. I don't think that's quite up to date anymore....
I have been using a WiFi switch to pick it up.
However, my expectation of a successor would be that the TX-NR696 would have significantly lower standby consumption.
Thank you for your input.

Accepted Answer

The power consumption is a maximum of 0.3W according to the current standard, provided that no special functions (WLAN, Bluetooth etc) are activated.

Answer

If there is no power for a longer period of time, the internal back-up battery will discharge!
