• No, it doesn’t, but it does have to be in stand-by mode. In the TV settings menu, there are two options for the Power-Off state: Low Power (everything turned off) and Standby (just the screen is off, tuners, etc. are still on.) I don’t use any external FireWire recorders, so I use the Low Power option.
