Does anyone know how to disable the auto-shutoff on this unit? Makes it difficult to use with alarm clock app.

Hi Michael, auto power off feature of the Sony Portable Speakers cannot be disabled. -Vincent

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

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.

I've been using it for a couple of months. Never had that problem. Your run may be too far for the power supply to handle, your unit may be defective, there may be a setting on your phone that sets it to sleep. Gotta Troy me shoot it.

I just hooked mine up to the water source a few weeks ago.Functioning worked the same for me.When unit is turned off, hold finger to the screen while turning the unit on. This brings up the menu and you should be able to set the auto on/off times. Note once it's unplugged the clock time is not set and so the auto on/off is not selectable. You must first set the clock time and after that is done the auto on/off button becomes selectable.Hope this helps.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?

No, I didn't want auto shut-off, but it is available at Amazon. I saw it when I got mine.

Put the pin back in and it turns the alarm off - think of it like a grenade ;-)

The same thing is happening to me....I just purchased this yesterday and can't seem to get the alarm to work either. What was your solution??

Depends on what you mean by "turn the alarm off". I have only used the radio, so when it comes on you press the power button to turn it off. To not have it go off, press the Alarm 1 (or Alarm 2, if that's the one) button repeatedly until the little pictograph for alarm and sound are both off on the display.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

It's shouldn't turn off unless the device that you have it connected to is already fully charged then it will shut off by itself. I would try emailing them for support at tony@oxausa.com

The unit will automatically turn itself off after thirty seconds or so when not connected to the wall or charging a phone. There is no way to dim or shut off the LED charge indicators as far as I've found.

Hi Dr. Richey, My particular unit is connected to my iPhone 6 and has an alarm on/off setting. But I have not turned it on during use yet.

I had the same thing happen I went to a auto sound and alarm place for cars and trucks and the guy there fixed it. Several buttons got pushed at once in my purse and turned the function off.. I do not know how to tell you to put it back but the guy at the car alarm place did it in a few seconds.. Good luck..

I can see your point about turning it off. I have a cheaper unit that I keep in my shop. Thinking about upgrading. I just turn the sensor toward the wall when I'm working out there so the alarm will not be sounding constantly all day when I'm out cleaning or working. Kind of like telling the guard "don't shoot! It's me! Just take the afternoon off"! I just have to turn it back around when I lock up. Form a habit like pulling your keys out of the door after you lock the lock. It's just habit.
