This is not a serious problem, but it happened twice to me now, so I thought I'd report it anyway.
My Mk II is sitting here on my desk, A/C powered, connected to the PC over Ethernet only (no serial, no USB). I left it in standby mode (blinking LED) for some time - 24 hours or so. Twice now it spontaneously woke up and started playing, without any input from my side. Any idea what could cause such a behaviour? Can some special packet over Ethernet wake up the player?

Must be those rogue packets flying around the network. Tony, time to reboot the Internet...

'Flying' is the right word... I found that not even the Ethernet was connected to the empeg, just power and nothing else.
Or is there a wireless LAN secretly built into the empeg?

I could just be stray IR from another Remote control used nearby even as far away as a neibors living room if the windows and conditions are just right. Something to think about anyway.

Maybe it was feeling neglected.

There are people here that would kill for the opportunity to listen to it for 10 minutes. And you leave it off!?!

You are probably the only person that will notice the "leave it off" bug.
