This shouldn't be a problem since the stylus is automatically lifted from the 
disc when the AC power is cut. But I wouldn't recommend leaving the disc in 
the player for a prolonged period of time, as someone on the digest who had 
the habit of doing that mentioned dust would build up on the disc surface 
resulting in more frequent skipping when the disc was played again.
