I want to put this speaker in a radio cabinet and plug it into an AC adapter to leave on constantly. Does it remain on, or auto power off?

As long as the battery doesn't run down, I believe it will stay on constantly.

Great question; there's an on/of switch on the bottom of the unit. You have to move the switch to "on" or "off" positions.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

If it is in a "constant" power source you can use the on/off button and it will not byes power. If you plug it in an ignition controlled outlet it will turn off when you turn your car off. Either way it will pair up when you are within 20 or 30 feet of your car and play the last song it played when you turned your car off.

Do you mean turn the power off? That works. We love this stereo. Do you? Hope that answers your question

I ran a wire from my led switch to the amp that way the amp is only on when my lights are; The lights are a good reminder to shut it off. I'm not sure if the was a light or not on the amp but i know it still pulled power when speakers were "off"

Haven't used it yet, but it is advertised as a "stay on" unit, no auto-off. Hope this helps

I actually have not used the speaker with just the batteries on. I have been using it plugged in all the time.I am now curious to see if that happens if I tried it with just the batteries. It could a power saving mode.

Yes, I keep all (7) of my speakers in stand-by all the time. I activate them via my phone, tablet or computer and that's how they're meant to work. The only time they won't stay in stand-by is if they're running on battery and have been inactive for 30 min. Then you have to either plug it in, or turn them on manually. I keep mine plugged in, unless I want to take them onto the patio, or in the garage, or bathroom.

Hi Michael, auto power off feature of the Sony Portable Speakers cannot be disabled. -Vincent

No, it will not automatically power itself off but it will go into deep sleep mode to save the power after xx minute without any opeartion.

I don't think you can, unless you keep something playing. If possible, turn down volume on your device, ie; phone or tablet. The Boom needs a signal to keep power on. The automatic shutoff saves your battery in case you forget to turn off.

It turns off automatically after a few second (10-15)...it should do very well for what you want.

It will stay on when it is plugged in until you turn it off or use the timer to turn it off for you. I hope this answers your question.

If it gets turned off by the volume knob and still has power going to it it will stay on what ever channel it was left on. If when the car turns off it loses power it will loose the channel

No, this is not normal. When connected to Bluetooth, I can power off my speaker, and the speaker turns-off. My device is nearly two years old. I cannot imagine they changed the way the power switch works, but who knows.

I have left mine plugged in for months (since I bought it) and never turn it off - I have in music for relaxation and sleep with it also

Yes when you plug the dc connector it disconnect the batteries. I verified it by inserting batteries and powering the system and playing music, I then insert the dc plug from the AC adapter whitout plugging the AC to the power outlet and the system shutdown until I plug the AC into the outlet.
