Beam's brain!

Can you describe exactly what the problem is? You didn’t make it very clear.

I wrote twice as to what the problem is.  In line 4, I asked why does one buy a system that I paid a fair amount of money for when it turns on by itself?  

A little later I asked why pay for this when it turns on itself . This question has been asked many, many times.  Why don’t we have an answer?

Your TV is turning it on, unplug the TV from the mains and it will stop.

 My soundbar is connected to a Sony TV via eARC.  It turns itself on occasionally.  I think it’s the TV or cable box (Xfinity).  Never been able to troubleshoot this.

Will try the TV disconnect tonight.

Hi

I had (emphasis on had) the same issue with a much older Sony using an HDMI ARC port and my Beam 2. I suggest you call Sonos Tech support to discuss the issue. BTW there a fix 😊.

My Sony Bravia turns my AVR + linked sub on.

Google TV, which runs my Sony, performs background tasks, such as TV guide downloading, update checks, downloads, firmware installs and reboots. Usually within 10-15 mins of being powered off I hear my AVR and Sub switch back on if it’s going to happen and the TV gets chatty with the internet for a few minutes then everything powers off again.

The main panel never lights up, it’s just when the main board powers up for its background tasks it powers up the usb and hdmi-eArc ports. I assume because I have hdmi-cec enabled that the Avr powers up, which then switches the sub on.

Doesn’t particularly bother me and I could probably reduce or stop it by disabling the background tasks in Google TV and disabling hdmi-cec.

Bravias have a more annoying separate issue, which powers the usb on and off regular when in standby, which caused my bias light plugged into usb to turn into a mini disco light, until setting the rs232 control mode to serial, at which point the usb port stays powered on.

Hi, and thanks for your suggestions.  First, I have re-read my original writeup.  There is not a word in there about me having a Sony TV.  I don’t have a Sony TV, it’s a Mitsubishi unit.  I also want to re-emphasize the fact that my remote does control the TV and subwoofer.  I took the batteries out and left outside of the room.  That was not sucessful either.  The one thing I I can say is the little white light that should stay on forever turns green when the unit decides to turn on.  Also, I have no control over the time it plays on its own.  I think I might have some bug that is different.  Since turning the volume down, it’s not as annoying as much because I’m not tuned in to a specific schedule.  The final thing I want to say is, if this continues I’m going to hire a dance teacher.  Might as will make something practical out of this problem. The only problem is I don’t hear it during the day and dance teachers are unreasonable in the middle of the night.

WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES MY ARTICLE LEAD PEOPLE TO THINK i HAVE A SONY TV? 

Ehschwa

 You did not state what kind of TV you have.  I was just describing the situation I have with my Sony TV just in case that was the brand TV you have.  We do have one thing in common… Comcast.  Doubt that’s the culprit though.

 Green on the Sonos device is Mute.
