My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.

4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.

Hello everyone,
The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal.  Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack.  This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar.  If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions.  If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting.  You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
Thank you,
---Chris

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • My nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off

    Help my nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off. It won't let me read my messages. Everytime I press the key to read my messages it just goes off. I only had it about 6 months!!!

    Hi,
    The phone software of your N5300 got corrupted or messed up. It's either you can update it (by yourself) or send it to the Nokia Care Centre for a reflash.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    Good luck

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

    my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either.  It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

    DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game? 
    There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting. 
    Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue. 
    First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally.  This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
    If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
    If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
    As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings.  Be sure to backup your iPad first.

    Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps turning itself off :/

    I have an iPhone 4S, it keeps turning itself of on its own and crashing. I've restated it, reset it and been to an apple shop but the Genius Bar told me that this is a software problem which they can't do anything about. They've offered me a refurbished iPhone 4S but I would have to pay £180 for it. Is there anything else I can do? I know they've admitted that it's a software malfunction and I'm really not happy they won't replace the damaged product free of charge. Just wondering if there's anything else I could try. Thanks

    Exactly the same problem and answer by Apple. Disgusted so went and brought a Samsung. Problem solved.

  • My LG Lucid keeps turning itself off

    I haven't had any problems with it, until recently. I've had it about three or four months, and now it just randomly turns itself off. It just started doing this yesterday, and today it's happened six or seven times. I do use my phone a lot, I listen to music when I go to class and I use it to keep track of assignments and club meetings and such. I also text and use the internet a lot. I charge it every night, and sometimes during the day because the battery drains so fast sometimes. I don't know if it's something that I'm doing that's wrong, or if it's my phone.

        long7489, I'm sorry your phone is powering off and on. I understand how frustrating it can be to have issues with your device. The community suggestions are correct, please try safe mode to find out if an app is causing the issue. If you continue to have issues, you can perform a hard reset back to the factory settings. Please keep us posted. If the the phone was physically damaged or damaged by water, you will also continue to have issues. ^KH

  • Pavilion 25xi has power button lock out and keeps turning itself off

    My Pavilion 25xi has the  message "power button lock out" and we have tried holding it for 10 seconds (hard with a swipe button). We have also disconnected the power for 30 sec and then reconnected. All these to no avail. It also id prone to turning itself off and when the screen is reset, there are no icons and none of the programs on the task bar are able to be opened. This means turning the who;le computer on and off, thus losing any work on the computer that was in process. Help!

    Hello @BillHendo,
    I understand that you are getting a 'Power Button Lock-out' error when you push the power button on your HP Pavilion 25xi monitor.I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
    Step 1. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds
    Step 2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
    Step 3. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
    Step 4. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
    Step 5. Press the Menu button on the monitor
    Step 6. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
    Step 7. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
