How do I stop the speakers from shutting off automatically when the TV is on (line in mode)?

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they responded that this can't be shut off and the timing can't be altered. I'm not sure why they have this shutoff built in but it is irritating.

I would try changing the digital cable that connects your sound bar to the tv, cause if that cable is intermittently failing the sound bar won't getting any signal from the tv and will shut off thinking its not being use..

If you have a preamp output on the receiver. Some have this, most do not. This is what I use. If you use a line level input on the speaker, say from a CD player or the receiver fixed level outputs, it is possible to overdrive the speakers. There is a volume control on the speaker and the remote to control, but I don't think the speakers reset to zero volume when shut off. You should turn on the speakers first, lower the volume, then turn on the line level input. The alternative is to use some type of Apple MP3 player. Also there is a Blue Tooth receiver available.

Most if not all TVs made in the last decade or so do not have headphone outputs (like on a stereo reciever which will mute the speakers). Instead they have line outputs which you would use with this unit and are independant of the speakers. You can still mute the speakers while listening to the headphones but it's not automatic: you just need to hit the mute button on your TV remote.

I am not 100% sure but I really don't think so. The setting on the TV is to choose between an audio system and TV speakers, and if you choose one it turns off the other.

If there isn't a sound present such as your tv on or sound system playing, it will turn itself off. It's an auto shut off feature designed to conserve energy. How ever, if it is turning off with sound present, it needs to be checked out. I would recomend calling Yamha tech support and discusing the situation with them.

I have the same problem. I assumed it was caused by running the sound through a receiver. Does it do it using the tv speakers? I would like know too.

On my TV once I plug in the headphones the TV speakers turn off automatically only allowing me to hear through headphones. Have to unplug headphones to get TV speakers to work again.

Make sure the TV sound is disabled. Volume will be controlled by SoundPlate remote.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. We just took the sound bar off. The TV's speakers are fine. I hate that it is a waste, though.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Mine is connected directly to my receiver and I too keep the speakers on the TV muted.

Yes you can turn off the standby mode but if you don't use sound it turn off itself. I use this speakers with a creative z sound card. Speakers I got it for 99 dollars and the card 85. I like the speakers because you don't get a lot of wires.

The problem is with the HDMI protection system. Next time turn off both tv and soundbar the turn tv on first then the soundbar. The issue is what they call a handshake problem between tv and soundbar. Good Luck

I do not actually have this receiver. but, now that that is out of the way, thought i still might be able to help. generally, the protection circuitry shuts the unit down when there is a problem with speaker wiring, like a short or miswire, that's what i would check first, another possibility is you have a damaged cable, like the hdmi is messed up internally, try swapping in a different cable after you check the speaker wires. hope this helps!

We also have external speakers and, to my knowledge, we did not turn off the TV's speakers. Sometimes I turn on only the TV, just to check the weather, andthe speakers are definitely working. We notice no conflict between our additional speakers in the surround sound system and the Tv speakers.

Thats odd !!! if you are using your remote make sure you use fresh batteries don't mix half and full power batteries together. also make sure you tv is not on mute meaning it will turn the volume off. check your remote for the mute button if that the problem you should be ok, but be careful hitting that mute button by accident because it will show a speaker symbol with a slash going cross it on your screen meaning on volume and it will not turn off until you press that botton .
