I have a remote control that I sometimes use with my R8B. It's a great
accessory, so I use it a lot. However, I've noticed something strange.
If I turn the receiver off with the remote and then turn it on using
the front panel power button, the receiver powers up but the signal
meter just sits there and the needle doesn't move. No other aspect of
the receiver's functioning seems unusual--only the signal meter.
Likewise, if I power the receiver off using the front panel button and
then turn it on using the remote, the same thing happens.

On the other hand, if I use only the front panel button or remote to
turn the receiver off and then on, there's no problem. The signal meter
works as usual.

This makes zero sense to me. Any thoughts about what explains this
weird phenomenon?

Thanks,

Steve
