Sharp Aquos IP control connection failure

I've run into a bit of a head-scratcher working with a Sharp Aquos 80" TV with IP Control. Despite having Quick-Start turned ON, when the TV is off, it immediately drops any IP connection after it connects. If the TV is already on, the IP connection makes and sticks OK. In fact, when the TV is off and I just do a soft reboot of the controller, the connection will stick. But if I hard-power the controller, and the TV is off, the IP connection just refuses to hold. The device comes online, and then immediately drops back offline again.
I'm kinda stumped. I've got a lot of other Sharp Aquos series (mostly 60" TV's) that connect and work fine whether powered off or on, hard or soft reboot on controller. But this 80" TV (and now I suspect another 90" is doing the same thing), have trouble keeping the IP connection.
Any ideas out there?

IIRC you need to send the RSPW command to it while it's on to get it to answer while off. I think it's "'RSPW2 ',$0D" (three trailing spaces) for IP connectivity. It's been awhile since I did IP control on one of those though, so that might be off by a bit.
AHA! Now I remember it at least used to work this way when running RS-232 control. This might help, although I'm pretty sure I never sent that command to the 60" TV's I've got working. I don't have it in my code anywhere. I'll definitely give that a try though.
I definitely have the quick-start setting on.
Thanks!
It seems like the Quick-Start setting, just isn't actually setting.
I simply do not trust the TV manufacturers to stay long enough an a protocol to trust them.
