Does this unit really lose its presets when boat main power is turned off? I ask as one reviewer said it happens (or was his just defective)...

I believe that is untrue. That owner likely misfired his unit. There should be a primary wire to power that is turned on by the ignition key. I think there is a secondary line that goes direct to battery so that the presets do not get lost.

I use the unit with an aux input plug. I don't have any presets. It is an incredible unit with very clear strong sound

Yes, it does. I installed it on my boat, which has a master power off switch for all accessories. To my unpleasant surprise all of my radio channel programming went to waste. When I turned on the master switch and turned on the radio all of the station presets were gone. So I will change it's electrical source to an "always hot" power line, but I have to remember to shut off the radio each time I get off the boat!

No it does not if wired properly. The orange wire has to connected to an unswitched source or basically straight to the battery. The orange wire is the memory connection.

Yes, if it is installed properly with the direct power source for when the radio is off. The radio is on our boat and only gets used on weekends and the presets are there each time.

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

If there isn't a sound present such as your tv on or sound system playing, it will turn itself off. It's an auto shut off feature designed to conserve energy. How ever, if it is turning off with sound present, it needs to be checked out. I would recomend calling Yamha tech support and discusing the situation with them.

I have not had this issue, but I do not leave mine plugged in. I would check to see if a power surge took out the unit, or a battery issue

Yes... it will turn back on to the EXACT settings as before the power went out!!!

hey Jeff, It loses all of everything u recorded if batteries die while recording! Recommend you purchase the a.c. power adapter to alleviate this issue.Harley

There is an on board amplifier. We installed one of these on my friend's boat and it turned out quite nice!

I usually start the music once its docked. and it works fine. Have you already sent the box back? Reason I ask is because the packaging is deceiving... On the box is just has Im600, what you need to look for is on the bottom of the box where the serial number is printed just below it has im600USB printed in small text. When I go home tonight I'll send you the UPC code it has printed.

Hi Stacey! I relly can not imagine what could have happened with this unit. Mine works fine, good sound. I owned one for over a year and no problem so far.

I wish I could help; regrettably, I am not electronic educated to answer your question. I am, however very happy with this unit as a sound system on our boat.

Yes. When unit heated up got open circuit lost audio. too expensive to repair. bought a refurbished unit from amazon and had no problems since.

I was just going to post the same question, so I'm assuming it doesn't have presets at all. I'm guessing the previous person who said that's probably for a different model system was correct. That's the only button on my remote that does nothing so I know it's not a bad remote. Oh well, still a great system you just have to learn how to adjust bass and treble depending on what you're watching/listening to.

Hello Shaun, Yes the Receiver will remember your settings after a power outage. In fact the receiver has several memory settings for your configuration. I have no complaints about Pioneer SC 68. Thanks Gene

Wade - if you are referring to the power down due to audio inactivity, yes, they do have that. But to tell you the truth, this has not been an issue with me at all. I use them quite frequently for videos, music etc and I haven't even noticed that it has come into play. I actually prefer this mode, as I don't have to power the units down when I walk away. And when I return, they automatically power themselves up. Hope this helps.

I have mine on a toggle switch in my boat so when I killed the power nothing would be on ..... Then the volume would be on your device
