Auto Turn on:
The SB 15/230 automatically enters Standby‐mode after approx. 15 minutes if no audio signal is detected.

This can also be forced by learning (for example) the TV set’s remote control “Off” code into the SB 15/230
(See owner’s manual).
Due to Power saving regulations, the SB 15 does not “listen” to the Audio Inputs, unless it senses a remote
signal first, which can be any kind of remote signal (it does not have to be a learned remote code ‐ turning
ON the TV or sending any other infrared remote code will be enough). The remote signal will tell the SB
15/230 to start up automatically as soon as audio is detected on (first) the Digital or (second) the Analog
audio Input. If no signal is detected by the Inputs, the SB 15 will go back into total Standby again after
approx 15 minutes.
