I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

I had the same problem. I think it's programmed to power down when there's no sound, like a pause in the music, but then is too slow to come back on. Mine is parked in my basement since I threw away the box and couldn't return it.

I am not aware of any external option which shuts off the stand by mode. I usually just reach over and turn the volume off and then back on, if I know that I need instant response. I would say that most of the time it responds in a couple seconds when audio is being generated.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

the HK turns off automatically if no song is played from the ipod. i assume that's the battery saving feature. i am not sure how long it takes to turn off, but in my case i had to wait about 10 minutes until it turned off from alone.

our unit is flashing muting on also and i can't get any sound out of my ipod. i have had it working so i know the set up is correct, so i am assuming it is related to this muting on situation.

If you recently got the system all the settings will be preset. so where the option button is located at the bottom right of the system you'll have to go in there and navigate where it says standby mode an turn that off that should fix the issue you're having

The unit has a battery saving device built in to it.If the unit does not detect sound play on the device it will turn itself off after awhile.

I have the same problem. Always running out of battery. Then the dock stopped working, so I am not at all happy. Good luck.

Yes! We've been experiencing the same problem. The standby light flashes red and turns off by itself. We turn it back on and it shuts off again! Then we've also had the picture turn off but the sound is still on. We also bought it through Costco.

It plays music for sure but mine is out of juice as we speak and now hooked up to my puter but perhaps I have skipped something. Seems like it ought to charge and maybe mine was turned off after playing.I'm not mych help, I guess.

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.

Not apple user but I would try to reconnect unpair/pair and make sure the audio and music are set to ON....

There is an on off switch. If you leave it "on" it is connected to the network and you can connect to it any time without delay. You can power it down, in which case you will have to go through a power up cycle the next time you use the speaker. You have to turn the speaker on and off at the physical unit (or within its IR remote range if you use that). The speaker does not have a standby mode, but I do not see any issue with leaving it on all the time.

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link.Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

no...your computer can be off...the dock only plays music from an inserted ipod/iphone/itouch
