Choose a recommended AutoPowerOff plug bank for TVs
An AutoPowerOff plug bank automatically switches off peripherals such as a DVD, video, surround sound system, etc., when you turn off the TV.
An AutoPowerOff senses the amount of electricity used by a computer and TV. When the Computer or TV is turned off, the electricity consumption falls to a minimum level (typically under 20 watts). This is registered by the AutoPowerOff, which then sends a signal to power off the other sockets.
