Is there a way to turn off the annoying blue LED lights? Why does everything have to be lit up? (The second question is rhetorical)

Everyone knows, the brighter it is, the more expensive it appears. Actually they're probably just saving a cent or two on a lower resistor.

I put electrical tape over them. They are extremely bright, and without taking the unit apart and actually modifying the electronics, I see no other way. The manufacturer should make an option for turning them off, or dimming them, but for now, a strip of black electrical tape over them works for me. It might not work well for anyone that wants to adjust the EQ more than once without having to remove the tape each time. I tried a permanent marker, but I couldn't get it into the small area well enough, and it was useless. I would imagine a small bit of paint would take care of the issue, and I will likely end up doing that.

No, you can't and it can be distracting if you're using the unit for relaxing, sleeping, etc. What I've done is to put a small thin canvas piece of cloth around it; it blocks the strong led light and yet you can see some of the led light for interpreting what the unit is doing. Hope it helps.

Yes there is an option to turn the LED light completely off. You just have to click through the options, the instructions are very clear.

Hi Christina, LED light can be turned off, when you touch the hand sticker on the back top 3 times, it will turn the LED light off. I personally Love the LED light and the rainbow of colors! :) Let me know if you have any other questions! ~ Annette

No the led lights don't have turn off switch and it won't turn off if you hook them up to a motherboard fan header, if you are hooking it upto a fan controller i don't think you could turn off the lights..i don't mind the LED so i just hooked mine up with the connector on the motherboard.

Not on my unit. There is a small red light and a small blue light on all the time when the unit is on, and the led light comes out of the top but the led light is barely noticeable, even in the dark.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

I find the one light it has very distracting, so just put a small piece of dark tape (I used electrical tape) over it, and no more problem for me!

LoL. As an individual who considers the aesthetics of my environment, including my home theater setup, I can appreciate this question. The LED is the standard bright blue. Mine is in a cabinet below few feet below the TV but still visible through glass. I have never had a problem noticing it too frequently and it certainly has never caused an annoyance. I would not be surprised if there was a dinner or a way to turn it off but I honestly have not looked into it. if you are looking at this from a negative standpoint I certainly would not let this weight heavily in your decision. I did my research before getting this and I can't say enough about it. Blows the comparable Monster products out if the water in terms of quality and price. Enjoy

The "night light" feature can be turned off, but it still shines a lot of light out the little holes in the purple part, and all of the buttons are lit up all of the time. I found this really annoying. I taped black tape over the purple part, but still have to hide it behind books, etc., to hide the bright blue glow from all the buttons.

Yes, it's a blue light indicating power is on. I don't find it distracting at all. If it bothers you, you could stick a Post-It note over it.

Mine does that too.. if I listen very closely. But my hearing has always been particularly acute. It's in rhythm with the blue LED and appears to be generated directly by it. Your hard disk light does the same thing - has been for years, without ill consequence.

It's a dim blue LED. It shines upwards, not sideways. I doubt it's a problem for you.

There is a middle option that would have both lights off. So you can have all on, blue only, or off.

Whenever I'm not using the TV because the xmitter and rcvr are in a bedroom and they have blue LEDs that keep me awake. You could just leave them on if they didn't bother you or if they were in a different room.

Dear Derek,We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have the option to turn off the LED during playback.Thanks
