Does speaker automatically turn off after a period of inactivity? Want to place it on a ceiling height decorative shelf out of reach w/o ladder

You will have to have it plugged in to an outlet to keep it charged. I don't think it would turn off automatically. You have to make the initial bluetooth connection with each device. Once you do that you're good on that device (i.e. your iPhone or whatever)

Yes it does go to sleep and you have to press a button to wake it up so it would not be suitable for that.

I've only used it outdoors under a closed deck - and then only as a "instant" music speaker that I then take in when we're finished. I'm on an expert, but given the casing, etc, I'd say it's not an outdoor speaker as a regular or permanent fixture.

There is no on-off switch. The unit draws very little power from its wall-wart power supply which would remain powered-up even with the unit switched off. I recommend leaving it on or controlling it along with the other audio equipment. Powering it up while monitoring its output results in a loud "thump."

Then it off with the remote. Then hit the display button on the remote. That turns off the lights while the speaker is off.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.

I did a test and it did eventually power itself down. When I did the test I left the speaker on before I went out for lunch. While the speaker was off when I returned I can't say how long it took. Edit: Checked it again and the speaker powered down after 10 minutes.

I've had mine over a year and it is never turned off. I've had no issues except for a scratchy pot from it sitting in the same position. Moving it back and forth solves the issue. Amplifier sounds good and runs cool.

I believe after a while the unit turns itself off. If hours go by, I find the unit off and have to turn it back on to play music.

There is only one on/off switch, there is a more bass/ less bass knob on one of the top speakers, so you can turn it way down, but don't think it would shut it off all the way.

There is a low volume tick when the timer activates/deactivates the outlet. But it is silent otherwise.

It depends on how you wire it. I have mine attached to a wall mounted on off switch. If it is hard wired without a intervening switch it will restart automatically and will suto shut off based on the thermostat. Because it needs to be mountef 6 plus feet from the floor I mounted mine off the ceiling. I did not want to use ladder to adjust thermostat so I put in on off switch.

Not that I'm aware of. I have forgot to turn it off in the past & go back & it's still on. So, I'm assuming it doesn't. I'm learning to turn it off before I leave the room. But, I've been very happy with it. It does well for what I need. Thanks

Yes, the lights can be turned off and you can still use the speaker for sound without the lights. It's a really nice speaker and has a great sound!

Putting anything in front of a speaker will dull the sound but it will still work. Or just put it in the ceiling

Yes. It comes with a remote which is the only way to turn it off. Though you can cause it to sleep by holding the pause/play button on the speaker (not the remote) for three seconds. To turn it on again (without the remote) you simply touch the same button and the whole thing comes to life again.

You can turn the speaker off at the speaker, using the speaker remote, or at the iOS device. All three work very well. All the best, bob
