My "Bose Cinemate Series 2" switches off it power after 30-40 minutes of inactivity & the sound output is thereon from the TV speake!!.Any reasons?.

It is a power saver built into the unit for no activity. Did you turn off the speakers in the tv setup? If not you are suppose to.Purchase a Logitech Harmony Remote that will control, startup and all functions of all units, tv, blue ray, and Bose with one power up button.

Signal strength may be the problem. Hard wire the unit to the computer and see if it disconnects. Also check the computer settings to see if it powers down certain ports or aspects of operations while just playing a movie every 20 minutes.

My HDMI inputs quit on the audio side a few weeks ago. I had a Blu-ray and a streaming box connected. Flipping the main power switch on the back of the set off and on again cured this. Hope this helps.

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

I had to send mine back as it was DOA. I bought the Bose equivalent afterward. But to answer your question, it should have run off an internal battery

Hmmm . . . I was in a room without television when I tried them, and I believe the set in the other room was off. I'll try again without any other electronics on and update. Thanks for the tip!

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

I experience the same thing but not as frequent. I am also having issues with it turning itself off. I was told there is a problem with the power pack inside the TV. it does have a 1year factory warranty but dealing with Vizio CS is a pain. I bought mine from Best Buy abd bought there extended warranty so right now I am waiting for them to receive some more in so they can do a swap for a new one. I happen to like this TV very much but it seems without an extended warranty you might be on your own. Good Luck.

No power is different from not having sound. If no power up, contact tech support. If no sound, then consider the following: When using the adapter, it can be difficult difficult to link TV and soundbar when turning on and off. My best solution is power down the TV only and leave the power bar power-up at all times. Either the power unit or the adapter is challanged by cycles of on and off

Try Buying a quality surge Protector. If that does not work then it could be your actual electrical system. The Electrical System in my new to me house is rock solid stable and I do not have any problem that you site. If a new Surge Protector does not fix your problem then Do Contact Bose Tech Support and maybe they can assist you.

I would try changing the digital cable that connects your sound bar to the tv, cause if that cable is intermittently failing the sound bar won't getting any signal from the tv and will shut off thinking its not being use..

I have my M650VSE hooked up to a sound system and Comcast. At times, it does not start with all systems working and I have to reset my sound or comcast remote to get it back to where all systems are working. If your TV turns itself off while watching it, it seems that there may be a surge in your system either external or internal to it that makes it do so.I suggest you first try to see if there are external causes, and if that does prove to be the case, I would have a Vizio tech person check it out internally.Wish I could be more helpful.Ron

I called Polk Audio service when my sound bar stopped working and they were very helpful. The solution for me was to power cycle the system so that it would rebooted. I did this by unplugging the power cords and then plugging them back in. Hope solving your problem is as easy.

My center Bose speaker is just hooked up to my surround sound amplifier. I have the built-in TV speakers turned off.Also, I find many programs easier to understand with the center volume turned up a bit.

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.
