Post Maverics Upgrade - iTunes, Sleeping display and Apple Remotee

Before I upgraded to Mavericks, my Imac would play itunes and eventually the display would falla sleep. Perfect for pdocasts and internet radio at night. I'd use my apple remote to adjust the volume or change tracks and the display would remain asleep

After the upgrade, any touch I'd make with the remote wakes the display - which is sort of brutal at night - and I'll be darned if I can find a setting to revert it back to the way I had it.

Any thoughts?
