Ah, I see what you're saying.

My Mk1 is simply left on constant power at all times, in standby mode. If I want to listen to it, I pick up the remote and press "Play". It's not on switched power of any kind. I do this because I use my home stereo receiver to play other things than the Mk1.

If you want your Mk2 to play every time it's switched on, then simply leave it playing when you cut the power. When it powers up again, it will continue playing.

You could do this by plugging its AC power into the "switched A/C" output on the back of your stereo receiver, if it's got one.

Of course, that precludes the emplode thing...
