Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
The main bar was idle for over ten minutes, rather than turning off during active sound.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Power-on or automatic standby isn’t working.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
step-0
Did the stop follow at least ten minutes of inactivity?
The manual documents automatic standby with STDBY. Active-playback shutdown is outside this comparison.
Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Is the original mains connection safe and present?
- If No / this cannot be confirmed → Keep the observation for manufacturer support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required observation is unknown

step-1
Is the original mains connection safe and present?
Stop for damage, liquid or abnormal heat; do not open the enclosure.
Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Briefly press a main-bar source button to wake
- If No / this cannot be confirmed → Keep the observation for manufacturer support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required observation is unknown

step-2
Briefly press a main-bar source button to wake
Use a short normal press, not a reset or button combination.
Look for: Perform only the stated check, then confirm whether it could be completed.
- If Yes / this check is completed → Does the normal wake response appear?
- If No / this cannot be confirmed → Keep the observation for manufacturer support
- If I do not know / cannot check → A required observation is unknown

step-3
Does the normal wake response appear?
Look for HELLO/the restored input. A standby wake check does not test power-supply health.
