laser life

Hey, congrats on the great find. I don't know if this applies to your Magnavox (and actually I don't know if I'm right about this at all), but don't some CDPs have an active laser as long as they are powered on (versus active only if there is a disc in the player)?

AFAIK there are no replacement lasers for my vintage CDP (Yamaha CDX-2020), so I turn it off when not in use in the hope of prolonging its lifespan.
