Do you have to turn it on when you want to play it, or is it always on? I want to put it high on a shelf (with an outlet) out of the way. Can I?

They stay in sleep mode until they receive a ping to wake up. When on, the JBL logo lights up; otherwise it's off. iTunes sometimes initially gives me a warning saying approximately "..no speakers found..." - but then all the speakers show up and work fine. I have them up on top of book shelf w/o any issues.

It puts itself in a "sleep" mode, but you can "wake it" without pressing a button.

Mine is mounted on a ceiling outlet under a porch, as long as it is plugged in it is either asleep waiting for a connection or is actively connected to your bluetooth device. If asleep, it wakes up as soon as you connect to it with your device. There is no on off switch to deal with.

It can connect and disconnect, but as long as it is plugged in, it is always on. There is no switch

Take into consideration that it "Shouts" every time it's connecting/disconnecting (no volume control) and if it's always plugged in to the socket it can happen when the battery on your device runs out i.e. in the middle of the night...

its always on if its plugged in, the only way to turn it off is to unplug it

I am so tired of the connecting, disconnecting, in pairing mode messages, is there some way to stop them without unplugging the unit?

Also- when JBL is plugged be sure you see that the name blinks then a green lite shows showing it's "hot" and ready to go. We love this take it anywhere especially out on deck or hotels, so portable and small.

You don't have to turn it on. The unit is effectively in sleep mode until you select something to play. When on, the logo on top lights up in a white light - otherwise it's off.

Yes along as it is plugged in to outlet as soon as your device (iPod etc) is turned on and you select the icon on device to connect with the JBL it's activated.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

Yes you can play it without being plugged and it sounds great - it is also a beautiful mandolin - hope this helps - have a beautiful blessed weekend

Before or after it catches on FIRE? Really, mine caught on fire and I was not the only one! Do not buy this if you want to sleep at night. Oh and by the way, resuming play depends on the device plugged in. Usually devices pick up from where they left off.

Hi,The play button acts as an on/off button. All you need to do is hold it down. We love this thing! and the sound quality is great!

Depends on the model guess. The first one I bought, when it died, I could plug it into the wall charger via USB and still have it in my phone with the aux an it would just play. One of my friends loved mine and bought one a few months after I did to daisy chain, but hers will not charge while playing NOR play through the outlet, she has to charge first before she can play anything. I don't know if it's all new models or just roulette =(

Mine plugs right into a wall power outlet... I activate my phone to find the speakers and my music plays.... Not rocket surgery...

Did you also unplug the player? It sounds crazy but electronics these days are very sensitive. It works for me 99.9.

Purchased this player on August 2013 for coworkers. It is on almost continually and have not had any problems with it other than I have to turn it down. :) Contact vendor or amazon! After reading some replies I do remember that you have to either hold the volume switch as you turn up or bump continually. Just hold it in the up position until you hear volume. Hope it helps.

Mine is fine. I put it on my night stand right next to my face and it doesn't turn on in the middle of the night. Maybe someone/something is playing in your room...just kidding.

Not here. Does it keep humming ? You might want to return it. You could also look at your settings and make sure sound is low when you turn it on. One thing I learned is the little beast can only get so loud before it gets distorted. Keep it as a level that it sound good.

We never used the music function, just the lighting. We do suggest plugging into an outlet instead of batteries though. Wish my answer could have helped more.

If you pause it then shut it off it will keep your place. Even after charging when it usually returns to the spot that says music you can always resume where you left off. It saves it. Hope this was helpful? I love it myself?

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.
