If a mobile phone is connected to the
system, the system may be turned on
unintentionally by noise or an incoming
call. When connecting a mobile phone,
turn on/off the system manually by the
button.
The system may not turn off automatically
because of received noise, depending on
the source device.
If no device is connected, the system may
not turn off automatically, or it may turn
on unintentionally.
The beginning of the input signal may not
be heard, depending on the input signal
level.
When leaving the system unattended, press
the button to OFF to prevent
malfunction.
If the power is turned off automatically, the
button remains on, but the power
indicator turns off. The system turns on
automatically after receiving an input
signal (such as a music signal), and then
the power indicator turns on. Even with no
input signal (e.g., music signal), you can
turn on by turning off and then on again.
If no signal is input for about 25 minutes
or more, the system turns off automatically
again.
