I have a JVC 809 A/V receiver that has a soft power button ... when the power is "off" the receiver is in standby mode. The same is true for all of my A/V equipment, now that I think about it.

If I connected a 2-way X-10 controller to this receiver, would it:

a) be able to detect the difference between the two modes

b) be able to switch from standby to on and back to standby

Thanks for the help. I haven't bought any X-10 stuff yet, but I'm gonna, especially if I can trigger this A/V equipment.
