jacket_fan: Yes, the trigger cable turns off the 770, but it's not terribly obvious at first because the power light does not turn off.

And yes, the 770 will draw current at idle, and from what I can tell a fair amount of it, so it will get hot at idle if it's not well ventilated. Mine is somewhat ventilated-restricted at the moment, so I get around this by not using it for long periods of time continuously.

And when I say "idle," I mean it's on but there is no signal applied to the inputs, so there is no sound. I don't mean that it's been turned off by the 950. When it's turned off, it doesn't get hot, which is how I identified that it was actually off despite the power light being on.

Most amps, as far as I know, do draw current at idle although it varies how much.
