[RFI] Strange RFI

I have a question.  I when I transmit on 40M I turn on my CD player 
deck.  I have to keep all the system power on an outlet strip so I can 
turn off all power to the system.  My audio system is located on the 
other side of a wall separating my office and the den.  I am 
transmitting using about 900W DC to a vertical antenna located about 110 
ft away from the audio system.  None of the other components in the 
system, amp, turntable, tuner, or cassette deck, respond to the signal.

Since the remote control for the deck is IR, I just wonder what the RF 
could be getting into to turn the CD player on.
