The Ref 3 will remember the display when you turn it off via the power button.
If the display set to off and you press the power button to turn off the Ref3, then when you turn it back on via the power button then the display will only come back on during the mute cycle: after the mute cycle (45 seconds?) finishes, the display will turn back off again (or to wherever you set it).
If you unplug the unit then the display will stay on after you power it up--it won't remember the setting.
