Autoland - all devices hard off

I was taking an LX flight into PRG on an A320 last week, and prior to landing the CC announced that as they would be making an autoland, all devices must be switched off (not just in flight mode, but switched off). They made a big song & dance of this, going round all the pax ensuring that this was done.

I've never seen this before and would be rather surprised that the autoland electronics would be more sensitive than any other part of the avionics. Or was there something else going on here?
