Too many components to turned on/off one by one?

Check out something like this. The Marantz RC2000 MK2 remote

The Logitec Harmony 1000 remote is great for yours and other folks needs, it programs over your computer and supports everything you can imagine...it is also very small, thin and light with a big display. You can sequence turn on and off and adjust delays times and it is super smart with knowing exactly what you need to control with any given funtion plus has a charging cradle so no need to buy batteries, also can be upgraded to a RF remote signal for hidden equipment. It costs $500 but I really think it is a great value, as my dad is not technical with electronics I just programmed his for him, check it out. It also stores photo's so you have a portable photo album handy for family or friends (not a big deal but kinda cool)

I'd second the Harmony remote, I have the 659 and 880, I looked at the 1000 Chadnnliz speak of but I much prefer the hard buttons for using in the dark, for me the 659 is better than the 880 as the buttons are more logical, so the 880 is in my bedroom system and the 659 controls my main system.

FWIW You will in no way be taxing this remote, my 658 controls a TV, four disk players, pre/pro, Squeezebox, HD DVR, and some of the disk players run multiple different connections, so it has three functions for one, two for another...... They are my favorite remote hands down, skip the Marantz Jea48 proposes, the harmony is far superior to that one.

Why turn them on off just leave them on as they're intended.
