Mine turns off whenever there's a pause in sound, causing the speaker to pop when the sound restarts/next track plays. Particularly distracting during guided meditation when the speaker pauses. Anyone else have this problem?

It's designed to do this so that you don't hear speaker hiss between tracks.

Yes it does. I was hoping that it was more of a timer (in that you could set a time and the sound would start after a certain time). Instead you set the time and the sounds stop after that set period. (This doesn't work well for silent meditation...oh well) (:

What you're probably hearing is the in-body image stabilization (IS) in action. If you turn that off in the menu, does the sound go away?

This sounds like audio feedback to me. This mike is VERY sensitive, and if the speakers are ANYWHERE close to the mike, the mike can pick up the speakers, and if there is delay in the audio path, the loop slowly goes into oscillation. Try using headphones to listen, if there the symptom dissapears, that is the problem. With enough spacing between mike and speakers, this problem goes away.

This has happened to me also. Make sure the speaker is charged and press the button labeled "M" to reingage the speaker. It's a pain when it happens but I haven't had it happen much.

Mine goes in and out but it happens when music is on the Bluetooth, not the intercom. Haven't had the chance to get another one to try the intercom. Would like to though.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

My speaker makes beep when I hold it for few seconds but it will not turn off. If I want to turn it off I have to hold it few more seconds until I hear the second beep and then it will be turned off. I hope this helps. Check out the last seconds of this youtube video for easy instruction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ABUWhufG6o

The one I just received skipped the track by holding down the volume button. The on/off button also works as play pause for me.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

In my experience it has to be off. I turn the front button off then the back one for best results as I've had the speaker quit when I didn't turn the front off first after recharging.

Gary, I was hoping to hear from you!!I left it off overnight - when I turned it on in the morning, it resumed (was in pause) at the same song that I have been listening to the night before. I needed only to press pause to resume!Hope this helps you.Happy to assist...these forums are wonderful!Jerry

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

Micah is correct. There will be a decending tone...hold down after that...then it will turn off. I leave my phone playing through it as I do this. That way I know it is turned off.

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

I just got mine (Nov 2014) and tried to leave the battery out (to possibly save the battery from being overcharged) - i was disappointed there is an annoying buzz once the music kicks in - it's like the charging circuit wasn't meant to operate without a battery in place :(

Unfortunately ...no. This seems to be a common feature among sound bars. I have two sound bars from different manufacturers... both have the "idle off" feature and neither can be disabled.
