Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ?

I never turn off my XA5400ES either. This is one player that I noticed takes a very long time to warm up, and sounds noticeably better after warmed up.

Thanks for the comments.
I tried to go to standby with one touch, from either the remote or the chassis on/off button. Both turn the unit off ( click!) rather than put it in standby- as claimed in the Sony manual. Contrary to what the manual says, it seems standby doesnt exist.A pity since it uses less power in that imaginary state- according to the manual....
I think I will just leave it on since I agree it sounds better warmed up.

As far as I can tell the only way to completely turn off the unit is to pull the plug. The on/off button on the remote and the player puts the unit in standby. It doesn't matter how long you hold the button down the unit will click into standby.

Not so, Rsfphil. On the unit itself, simply hold the power button down, wait a few seconds after the "Standby" message and it turns off.

Metralla. I've tried it both ways. Held the power button down for a split second and held the power button down for a few seconds and I got exactly the same results. The standby message flashes for a few seconds and then the unit clicks off. Is it clicking into standby or is it turning completely off? This is with the remote and with the unit itself. I read the instructions and I can't find where it says to hold the button down for a few seconds to turn it completely off. Granted the instructions are unclear. This is from the instruction manual.
Power Switch
"Turns the power to the player on or off.
To let the player enter power-saving mode (standby mode), press power on the remote or the player"
It doesn't mention how to turn the power completely off.
My guess is that the unit is always in standby.
