I looked at that one, and I found this in the Amazon comments:
quote:

Soundbar turns itself off after a few minutes... So, you pause a movie to take a phone call and come back a few minutes later. You press PLAY and there is no sound. Now your TV is on and your soundbar is off. Power button (which controls both) now turns my TV off and my soundbar on. You can imagine the next few minutes of frustration... Find the other remote, get them both turned on, and them go back to find where you were in the movie.
Same exact problem as mine.

Also
quote:

Sound is good but constantly disconnects from my tv
quote:

For some time subwoofer stayed paired to the soundbar. Then for whatever reason it got disconnected. I placed both units within 1 foot from one another and followed instructions from the full online manual (which took time to locate, the unit came with "quick setup" brochure"). No matter what I did - it did not work.
quote:

after 3 month of light use it began to turn off intermittently and then quit working all together
quote:

this thing has completely stopped working three times and its less than a month old.
quote:

Failed 9 days after 90 day return window
quote:

Seemed to work ok for a while. We have used now for about 3 months. Lately we have noticed the sound will change and the sound bar just shuts off on its own. We have to then manually hit the on/off button to make it work again. Very frustrating,


There are more, but that's all I needed to see. I'm sure it's a rare thing that is over represented in the reviews, but with my luck I don't want to take any more chances. I wish you the best of luck with yours!

Kork, I have a Yamaha yas-207 and I can say with 100% certainty that mine doesn’t shut off after 10 minutes of no sound. In fact, I wake up the next morning sometimes to find it to still on because my wife didn’t let the firestick remote go through the multiple device shut offs.

Now, “sleep” may be different than a full shut off, but I know I’ve left things paused more than 10 minutes and can come back and play it without repowering the sound bar.
