Here it is :
When I set the clock permanently on my BS 9000 it looks like the system won't go in full standby.
Usualy (when clock off) when I switch on the BS 9000 I get two "clicks" one for the speakers, one for the system.
When clock is on I only get one "click" when I press CD for example, the speakers.
If someone as a clue on that one, for ecological concern !

Have noticed the same on mine, when the display needs to light up, it requires a "click" :) It's the same when doing timer programming when the system is off, you can hear the click as the red display lights up.
I guess it just needs more power than the standby can deliver, and so it turns on the "auxiliary" power also :)

BeoGreg:So I guess I'll have to wait for the next electricity bill to know exactly what's happening inside the product !
I will do a test later today with my "watt-o-meter" and see if there are noticeable difference with or without clock :)
That is absolutely fantastic ! Thanks by advance, I'm totally unable to do so.

Ten times moderation, ten times : thank you !

My BS9000 uses 0w in std.by. without clock. My watt-o-meter might not be able to measure 2w or what the specs show as std.by power
When I press 'clock' (still in std.by), the unit clicks and the watt rises for a second to 13w and then back to 0 and stays there.
I wouldn't worry about the electricity bill with 'clock' on :)
The BS9000 is a clever designed device.
For a start, the powermanagement switches only parts that needs power. The clicking you hear is a relay that switches between different coils in the main transformer. For the reason that in standby mode, the powersupply "spills" less energy in converting AC voltage to rectified DC (+16-20V) supply to +5V.
Once a button or instruction is send, the transformator uses different (more) coils and generates a higher AC voltage to supply the rest of the BS9000.
