What in your opinion is the best power setting for normal use, "on" or "auto" for this unit.

I would say depends if you use the item everyday/constantly as your sound for your surround. Or if you use surround/theater occasionally. If the latter I would use `on/off` , if you use it often or primarily the auto would be the way to go in my opinion. Plus is the sub easy to get to? Auto is great if its behind furniture or out of reach,etc.

Mine is set to auto, no problems, seems to work well, it's never not come on.

I've had this unit for almost 2 years now and have always kept it in auto mode. It has never failed to turn on as soon as it receives a signal.

i leave mine set to on. all my equipment is run through a panamax power conditioner, which i turn off and on as needed. either way its a fantastic piece for the price tag.

I use auto. Might as well let it figure when it needs power. No sense leaving it on 24/7.

Hi Robert, I keep the volume at 1/4 and probably at 1/2 for bass depth. I like bass and most of my music is Jazz and Latin...however my space doesn't warrant any more bass. I would try different settings...depending if on a wood floor, concrete, carpet and the likes...curtains can also absorb sound....also placement so best to experiment. Mark

I set mine up for auto operation. Once you get it set where you like it ,it takes care of it self.

I've picked one up myself, based on all the favorable comments and reviews here-I like the selection of the range of speeds allowing it to run down at an idle of under 4 watts, and 90W on turbo mode. Good to hear it determines the replacement indicator based on the airflow restriction rather just on run time.

The switch is very user friendly. From the off position, the first push gets you to the low power setting, and the second push of the tail button gives you the high intensity setting. Nothing to it!

The power on low works fine in fact I can't go too high its too strong & burns, so nothing wrong with the power. Thanks

I just turn it on 2 about a half hour before I go to bed, then turn it down once im in. I have NEVER had it on the highest setting. Never really needed to.

Yes, I set it to go on and off when I go to work. I set it from 10:00 to 12:00 and then again from 2:00 to 4:00. (They only come with two sets of pins but you can always order more.) When I get home I switch it to On and set it back to Auto when I leave in the morning. I saved a 1/3 on my electric bill not leaving it running all day.

skully, I have owned mine since February and I have frequent power outages. I have not once had to touch it when the power comes back on. It's pinned at 70*

the power light comes on when there is re-engaged power. The settings won't be re-iniated though. You have to manually slam the thing against the wall and call it a day. Its a one hit wonder, and I hit it once and wondered why I bought the dern thing! :)

It doesn't have an automatic power on/off for sure. The normal power switch that's in that back doesn't really need to be switched off when not in use, no but if you do turn it off it won't be a problem.

TheProgrammerGuy nailed it. The power to the outlet on my car is always on so I have no need for the Power Magic Pro. I would caution you that, if you do use parking mode, change the settings. The default settings are way too sensitive and just about anything triggers a recording. The BV actually ran my battery down due to a combination of short commutes and the majority of the time in parking mode. After that experience I've set the parking mode sensitivity to minimum and, as an additional precaution, unplug it when at work or in the garage. No problem since.

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.

This unit does not remember any fine tuning settings when power off. You must readjust each time the unit is put into service. Hope this helps

Unfortunately I'm unsure since the installer looked at the internals, not me. We have lost power a few times since and as far as I can tell the settings remained intact. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have not found an auto turnoff one....I sure would like it though....I forget to turn all of mine off very frequently. No Big problem if just 8 or so hours but guess it could be if left on for days.

I don't think it really has to be powered constantly, it is just a recommendation so it doesn't have to reboot every time it gets turned back on. So you can turn it off if you want, there is nothing that says you have to leave it on.

I just turn it on high about 30-45 minutes before bed. Then I turn it down to low or 1.
