Burn in procedure?

I've read MANY posts regarding the infamous "BURN IN" question. I must have missed the posting which clearly describes how one, ACTUALLY, goes about burning in a device. For example, when burning in interconnects, does the amplifier have to be on? When burning in a new disc player, (dvd/cd/universal - you pick) do the preamp and amplifier have to be on? When burning in an amp - does sound have to come thru the speakers? Or does JUST turning the amp on, burn it in? Any help would really be appreciated.

No,
You can burn interconnects even aside from the amp or components:

1. Connect the ends of an interconnect to the DMM test leads using an aligator clips
2. Connect one test lead to the HOT prong of the AC recepticle and another test lead to NEWTRAL prong of the AC recepticle

Here you go: you'll burn your interconnects insntantly!
