We've made the Auto Standby feature as sensitive as we possibly could. The problem is if there's a weak audio signal coming into the speaker, the speaker will start to count down to turn off because the audio fell below a certain threshold.

All ZVOX speakers come with an 'Auto Standby' feature activated, which will automatically power the soundbar off after 10-20 minutes of not receiving an audio signal. Some televisions may cause the soundbar to turn off in the middle of a program due to a weak audio signal.
