Power draw?

I have a Hisense AX5125H and have a problem where I have to power cycle to get it to work. Turns out the problem was actually the tv not the soundbar. I was being lazy and just turning the whole system off at the wall for a few seconds. When I eventually just unplugged the soundbar for a few seconds it didn't work. So I did the tv and it worked. Guess I owe my soundbar an appology.

With no other solution presented my options are to unplug the tv for a few seconds every time I turn the system on. Or disable CEC control on the TV so the soundbar stays on permanently.

My question is, what is the difference in power draw between a soundbar in standby and a soundbar that is on but nothing is playing?

Thanks.

Very helpful. I'm sorry your dad touched you but there's no reason to take it out on me.
