Mine shuts off when playing on batteries and high volume, is that normal?

It had happened to me only when batteries are exhausted, I mean with low charge. I use rechargeable batteries on my Sony BT speaker. They can be very tricky if memory is not erased with an appropriate charger, I use a LaCrosse BC-9009 to refresh them. If you use good fresh alkaline batteries, that "cut-off" effect shouldn't happened. The louder the music the higher the power demanded from the batteries. When batteries are weak they are not able to supply the power the speaker need at high volumes and they give up leaving your device with no power until the batteries recovered a bit. I bet that when you play it with the ac adapter it keep going at max volume with no shut offs. Check if contacts in the batteries compartment are clean, poor contact produces the same effect as weak batteries. Hope this helps, Good luck.

I find its when the batteries are getting low, the song hits a punch note and it peaks out the power shuts off. New batteries fixes the issue. Had one for about a year, and it so nice. 20 hours plus of play time on those 4 batteries.

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.

try replacing the batteries (and try using the good ones, like energizer or similar)

Don't worry about it not shutting off people. The display itself has almost no drain on the battery. It is the memory that stores your data that is the culprit. If your battery is lasting less than 6 months then change brands. I have had mine (two of them) for over a year and have only replaced the battery once. Its a great device and works fantastic. Enjoy it and don't get so hung up on the battery, or if the unit "turns off"

Assuming the battery is good, it must be defective. Mine is quite loud and I take care not to set it off in error... especially in the garage. :)

I don't know mine has never shut off, even playing very loud for a long period of time

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 :(

I believe after an hour or 2 of being inactive, it automatically shuts off. Once you sync with blue tooth, everytime you turn it on, it will start playing music from your device. Do what I do and keep the remote at a convenient location. Overall this speaker is totally worth the price surprisingly coming from a CD manufacture company. Definitely good for outdoor or bed room.

I've never run the battery down all the way. I've listened to music for about two hours at a time. Not sure beyond that.

Yes and no i suppose. When you turn the volume knob all the way to the left it clicks to an off position. It also powers off after a certain amount of time of inactivity. Sorry for the late reply but I hope that helps.

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 just tested this and it appears that even when I turn the volume very low before turning the FOXLV off, when turning it back on it resets to a volume, probably in the middle of the volume range, maybe a bit higher. Hope this helps.

Not normal, but remember that the sound will come on at the last volume set so if you left it up high that's the way it will start up. I don't believe we have any problem in a delay to set the volume though.

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.

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.Hope this helps

I first answered "I don't know" however I realized after my first use the batteries were dead. I didn't shut off the player. SO now I can say no there is no auto shut off.

No, that is not normal. Send it back; once I hit the enter/ power botton, I can toggle to power off and it shuts off . Hope that information helps.

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.

I haven't had any problems but I think it have some sort of fail safe. If your banging music constantly very loud? It will auto shut off. I assume, it is to keep from busting the speakers. Honestly, I don't quite like the speakers for that reason but as long as my speakers ain't at its max then I wouldn't have a problem with it auto cuting off.
