Does this unit draw power when nothing is playing, or does it have a sleep mode. That is, do you have to turn it off when not in use to conserve power

It stays on all the time. You have to turn it off when not in use. The spec's say it uses 0.5W in stand-by, which I assume means off. It also uses up to 20W of power when on. However, when your TV set is off it is probably only using a small amount of power more than in stand-by. There is no "sleep mode" in the traditional sense where its smart enough to turn off itself.

The unit comes with a remote that has a power on/off button, plus volume, bass and treble.

To be perfectly honest with you, not sure. But I would assume like any other product, if you leave it on then it is not only still draining power but reducing the life time of the product.

I have two of these (one for each child) and love them. This sound machine will play until you turn it off. We play the white noise for our kids all night. It does have the option to automatically shut off, but I've never even tried it. I love this machine! Another great feature is that it can be plugged in or battery powered, this is great for when the power goes out! :-). Hope that helps!

I had my first one for nine months before it died. The thing is, I never turned it off and now I'm doing that with my new one. I know it goes into 'sleep' mode after awhile but I believe it's still better to turn it off if you're not using it for a couple of days. Also, they come with a year guarantee so this time I'm going to try and not lose my receipt.

I think it works that way. I notice it go to sleep mode after a while if no activities. There are couple settings at the bottom of the speaker for sleep mode settings. I love this speaker.

I believe after an hour or 2 of being inactive, it automatically shuts off. Once you sync with blue tooth, everytime you turn it on, it will start playing music from your device. Do what I do and keep the remote at a convenient location. Overall this speaker is totally worth the price surprisingly coming from a CD manufacture company. Definitely good for outdoor or bed room.

I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I'm using it right now without being plugged in. You might want to check your power settings under the screen saver settings. Perhaps it is set to put your computer to sleep or turn off the display when it is running on the battery. When I first got mine, I had to change the "choose what closing the lid does" settings so it wouldn't go to sleep and stop whatever I was downloading when I would close the lid. Hope this helps!

Well there is no ON or OFF button so the monitor goes into a sleep mode when there is no video feed. It still may consume power while in sleep mode but not much. Another way to turn it off is to isolate it from the power source. I hope this helped.

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

It doesnt need power, just connect speaker wires in will do... I stay in singapore, and my player is 240v here... No worries....

It seems to power down when powered down. The light goes off and the drives stop spinning. I'm not sure about sleep mode, my computer is either off or being used. Hope that helps.

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.

It turns off because there's no activity and no external power. I'd write an app that will generate a soft noise, hopefully inaudible, every 14 minutes. That or external power. There are USB battery packs you can buy if you don't have an outlet available.

Not that I can tell.... there are no power on or off switches. I think it just stays on. Does it bother you when you are trying to sleep? :/

The unit has a battery saving device built in to it.If the unit does not detect sound play on the device it will turn itself off after awhile.

I have several of these types of units. When power is turned off, or the unit is removed from power, when it is powered back up it starts the last song played. There is limited memory.

No, I keep mine plugged in whenever I'm not using it and it still plays for 7 hours or more on battery.

There is no battery. The most helpful poster is mistaken. If power is off and turned back on, this player will revert to starting as if a new disc were inserted.
