Ah. I think I've gone and killed my DVD changer settings... forgot to plug it back in after it locked up on boot. Dangit. I'm not sure how long my receiver would last.

I will call them this afternoon and inquire if that will happen because it would be a bummer.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Oh, of course it would. They're cutting power entirely, that's the point.

I figured so, just wanted to make sure Cam realized it before he ran into the problem.

The way I see it, if you turn your stuff on often enough, you don't have to worry about it. But I don't think I do...

You think that I would lose settings from my TV, DVD player, and a CD player and not just my receiver?? I could just run my receiver on another power strip.
I guess the only real way to know would be to call each manufacturer, and that's a pain in the butt.

I would think most devices would "reset" without constant power.

Yup, but I figure most devices have a battery that holds that stuff for a certain amount of time. After all, do you lose all your settings when the power goes out? Most devices don't have a battery, just capacitors. So their settings persist when unplugged for a few minutes, but not hours. Some nicer/newer equipment will store settings in flash or some other sort of non-volatile memory, but that's pretty rare.
