I had one (early) DVD player that, when turned off, merely turned off the LED on
the front panel. The power supply was still fully supplying power to the board
and drive, even when turned off.



Current ones (at least should) turn off the video output(s) too. This
allows you to use an automatic audio/video switch.

I would expect motors to be off as well.
