Does it turn off and on when the TV turns off and on?

Not ours. There are cables that plug into the back of the sound box from our DISH satellite, but the sound bar has a separate power remote and also a power button on top of it (in case you cannot find the remote)

In the basic cable or satellite TV setup, No, its receiving & playing the sound independently, with each having seperate controls. The TV is not the source of the sound. The signal goes from your cable/SAT box to the soundbar system then out to the TV, so the soundbar continues receiving the signal regardless of the TV power.(unless you turn off the source - the cable/sat box) I can play any of my Sat music channels thru the soundbar with the TV turned off (the sat recvr is on of course). You may be able to program the remote to control power to both, assuming your TV is compatable. But many like me, use our cable/sat remote to control both the cable/sat & TV controls. I don't know how to put all 3 on one remote. In the case of a dvd, then the dvd is the source, so pausing or stopping it will stop the sound.

Hi Carol,My unit does not -- but it has been configured on my universal remote to affect my Dish network connection. Ironically, I cannot acquire the Dish signal until the Sony controller turns on the soundbar. Once I got used to this.. everything became a breeze. I hoped this helped.-Mark in Portland

not for me because I have a very cheap TV. I am ok using multiple remote controls.

No, it does not. We simply use two remotes to shut down our entertainment system. One for Sound Bar only, the other for the television. It's a very minor inconvenience to us.

No. not with panasonic. Each time you have to turn on using the sony remote.

If I turn it off, my TV (RCA) will not sound. I put it in Standby mode (and then "off" in this mode), the TV sounds on its own speakers. I imagine with Sony Bravia TV the experience should be better

Not right away, at least not with my Vizio TV. It does turn off automatically if there is no sound coming from your TV for a specific amount of time - like if you pause a DVD. It might turn off immediately if you have a Sony TV. I can't say for sure. I know the remote will control both.

No it does not you have to manually turn the system off. Although if it sits with no sound come out for more than 15 minutes the system shuts itself off.

You need to turn it on whenever you turn on the TV, and sometimes after a period of inactivity it will go off and you have to re-turn it on. JK

No It only turns off when you turn off TV , pretty stupid I know, anyway what you can do is turn on the tv hit "tools" on the TV remote and select on the screen "Anynet+" followed by "Receiver ON" , I know it's a couple extra step but at least you don't need to get up or use two remotes to turn everything onHope this help

Yes, you can set it to come on at a certain time and off at a certain time. Works great.

No, it does not have an on/off switch. It is set permanently on "auto", in that it turns on when motion is detected in the near vicinity (i.e. 2-3 feet), and turns off within about 20 seconds after motion ceases. The light tuns-on not only in complete darkness, but also if the surrounding area is lacking direct light from another source (e.g. a partially-lighted room in the daytime).

No, it does not turn on automatically nor do I believe it turns off automatically.

Ruby, Yes, you can set the television to turn on (and off, too!) on days and hours you choose. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Yes, it turns off automatically. I have had this for almost a year and like it.

Yes. It turns off the power from the outlet to whatever you plug into it ( appliance, light, etc). For safety I would never trust anything that turns on / shuts off a heating applicance automatically. A tv is safe.

Yes, there is a sleep timer.The TV also automatically turns off after a certain amount of time of inactivity.

No it can not be set to automatically turn on and off. There is an on and off button that's it

Yes it does. You can also set it to turn off at different 2 hour intervals after coming on, (2 hrs., 4 hrs., etc.).

Yes it has an on and off switch. The fact that doesn't have an automatic shut-off as my previous one did, hasn't bothered me. I've had good use out of it for about 3 yrs now.

No, it does not turn itself off. There are red and blue lights that let you know when/if it is on.

No. It doesn't even have an on/off switch. Just plug it in and let it go. Or not.

the transmitter after a period of inactivity it turns off automatically, but in the receptor I have no idea, because I connect it to the usb port on the Tv so every time the tv was turned off it also turns off. :)
