This standby saver socket helps you avoid unnecessary power consumption by ensuring your peripherals are switched off at the same time as your computer. It is a unique system that will also reduce the power used by TVs, audio system, DVD players and many more electrical applications. The unit reacts to the Standby and On buttons of the TV or audio systems original remote control and switches the power equipment On and Off as needed. Perfect for use with lamps, CD players, DVD players, VCRs and loads more. This unit has six plug sockets, and will cut off the standby power 100%. Works with excising remote controls and as it is a plug-and-play device it is a breeze to install. Both options have six plug sockets, with two switchable sockets, which can be in Standby Saver control or permanently switched on. This flexibility allows DVD and video appliances set to record on timers, to be left switched on when required.

There are two versions available:

Infra red version:
The Infra red version can be operated using any appliance that is controlled with an Infra red remote control. The Infra red unit works with your existing remote control and learns signals from it. Using the Standby Saver extension after a small delay the power to all devices is switched off. When switched back on using the Infra red remote, Standby Saver returns power to all the equipment.

USB version:
The USB version can be operated with any device that has a USB port such as a home or office PC. Standby Saver uses intelligent technology to realise the computer and peripherals are no longer being used and switch them off.
