Why does this Soundbar shut off if I pause the playback of the TV?

If there is no audio input for a while, the unit switches off to conserve electricity. When audio resumes, the unit switches back on.

I don't know. We didn't keep ours long because it didn' function with our Smart TV. Sorry.

When it is on, and paired and connected, it plays. There is no pause. To pause, you have to turn off the power.

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.

Your TV probably has HDMI CEC enabled (control via HDMI) and it keeps "asking" your receiver to pay attention to it. I had a similar problem until I turned this "feature" off in my TV setup. Turning it off will disable the HDMI CEC pass through to your TV though (when the receiver is in standby/off mode), so if you want to use your TV speakers WITHOUT using the speakers connected to your receiver, you will have to leave the receiver powered on and change the HDMI audio parameter using the remote: receiver-&gt;audio parameter-&gt;HDMI - from AMP to THROUGH. I personally don't care if the receiver is on or off as long as I have the ability to either use my home theater speakers or just my TV speakers is it's late at night or kids are sleeping etc.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

It didn't finish posting your concern. So I am going to assume you hooked the sound bar, directly into the DVDO ? I can tell you that once I did all my hook-ups per the DVDO instructions, I lost my On Screen Display capabilities from my Denon receiver. And it wasn't until I ran a separate connection to my TV - to an unused input, that I was able to regain that function again.

I have never experienced that problem. Sound bar & tv works perfectly together. I had a problem with the auto on button, every time I turned off sound bar, it would come back on. Didn't figure out why until a few days later, within that time, I just unpluged the unit. Another problem, I'm having is, sound bar isn't working properly with vcr/dvd player. I think my connections are wrong, I'll contact Greek Squad to fix it for me.

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

just push the blue button and it will go off but so will the sound -- i don;t think you can just turn it off and continue getting sound out of it.. i don;t use mine anymore because, too much bass for me -- i just went back to my TV speakers

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

This has not happened when I used mine. Most of my use has been with TV. Good luck in finding a solution to yours. Extraneous noises are very distracting.

Do the lights show that the bar "thinks" it's off? (ie, it really does turn off). There are some wires connecting this to your audio source - if you disconnect them, does that cause any change? (also, as with any electronics, you might try unplugging, wait 20 seconds, then replug in). I can't think of a good reason for such a noise other than the unit dying, but these things might prove it.

First in the settings in your TV turn off the audio You will have to then use the the remote to turn on the sound bar each time...

You can't display the clock � continuously, whatever input you're using will display on sound � bar. Only when sound bar is off will the clock display. And another thing for a better sound, use the movie mode, Much better sound. Hope i was of some help Jim

The issue seems to be related to Bravia Link (HDMI-Control/HDMI-CEC) Disable "Control over HDMI" and my issues have been resolved. This may help you, it may not. This only seems to help with my Bravia turning off and the random "reset" of the video input together. Audio doesn't seem to have any issues since I have sound disabled and it is being piped from the over Optical to a Sony Soundbar.

Man, I wish I could help. I know mine automatically turns off when I turn off my LED TV so they are somehow synced already. I never did anything special when I set it up. I have a Samsung TV. I don't know if that makes any difference at all. I'm also using all HDMI. I'm thinking maybe it's the configuration of how your system is set up? Please do update when you figure it out as I'm getting ready to purchase a new TV to hook up with mine and I might just have the same trouble.
