The power switch appears to be in the back...does this need to be turned off when not in use, or does it have an automatic power on/off as it is used?

The amp burns so little power so I decided to leave the power switch on. It does not run hot.

It doesn't have an automatic power on/off for sure. The normal power switch that's in that back doesn't really need to be switched off when not in use, no but if you do turn it off it won't be a problem.

it will sleep when it's not in use. the blue ring will turn to yellowish orange. when it picks up a signal, it will come back on. like if you have your turntable plugged to it and you drop the needle after not being used, the amp will come on.

The Older unit with the aluminum trim on both sides of the face plate has the auto sensing feature, so it doesn't need to have the power switch turned off. I'm not sure if that's the case with the new one. I would call Emotiva just in case for the new all black model.

It has 3 settings: On, off, and auto. It will automatically be go to sleep if no audio is sent to the receiver for a period of time. The exception is with using a USB adapter to connect it to a computer, in that case you will have to manually shut it off. Auto sleep mode should work with most other connections.

The unit has a manual power switch. I have not allowed it to remain powered on to see if the unit powers down on its own, but I'm going to say it does not given the seemingly hard-wired manual switch.- Stephen

It is always powered on. There is no on/off switch. Just unplug the 12dc wall-wart.

You turn it off and then back on either by the power button on the unit or by the button on the remote. It's kind of annoying, it trips with low power or high power (if you have agm batteries that charge up to 14.6v like i do although I use so much power it's only hit the high end twice.)

On my unit if the power plug gets pulled when it is on it comes back on. So if the unit is own a power strip and the power strip gets turned off the unit will power back up. I keep my unit on my desk but keep it powered off unless I need to use it.

Mine is just a plug in DC type power pack running to the charging base for the battery. No on/off switch. Just plugged in or not plugged in.

No..once you put the cover down, it automatically turn the switch to off....i think for safety purposes not to drain your battery or any power....hope this will help!

Unfortunately I do not recall hearing or seeing the hard drive power down or stop when idled for an extended period. However, a power switch is available to manually shut down when necessary.

It will take a minute to come on. It will auto power down if the unit sits ideal........ther is no power switch poor design not having a power switch.

It does not have a power switch. I want to say it does draw power when there are no devices connected, but not sure.

This is not normal. Are you sure that you are moving down to the selection that says "POWER OFF". If you don't it takes about 5-10 minutes to turn itself off.

I rechecked my unit to be sure as I did not use it for a while. There isn't any off switch. As per the instructions when the unit is not in use the plug should be taken out of the electrical socket. However the unit worked real well when in use.

I have no idea. But I do no that when energized its just a one way switch. When no power is sent to it it defaults to its de energized position.

No it doesn't have power switch. You will have to unplug it when you turn of ignition.

No, the power is on the control panel. I wired mine to a switched line, but it still needs to be turned on every time from the control panel.
