Dragging up an old thread here as I'm having the same problem. It was happening in the car today. I first I thought it was the IR picking up a bit of sunlight and powering up, then it happened a few more times. I now have the Empeg (2.0 final, MK2A) in a Mark Lord dock and its doing the same thing. Has anyone nailed this down? Tomorrow I'm setting the standby to 1 second so at least it won't power on in the car while I'm parked somewhere. Yes, I almost always take it out, but I do forget sometimes esp at home at the end of the day.

Oddly enough my Sirius radio also started acting up today, changing channels by itelf. Perhaps something's in the air?
