My Sonos Beam is connected to my Samsung TV. It is plugged in to the TV using HDMI. When I am away for an extended time, I sometimes unplug the TV. If I do not use the Beam for an extended time, will it go into a sleep mode or is it better to un plug the power too.
Thank you, Irwin

It will go into sleep mode, as designed.
There’s lots of speculation in the internet about power cycles on computers shortening the life of the electronics inside them, but in general, you can choose to unplug it, or leave it plugged in, either way.
We power a lot of electronics down when we are away, Sonos only saves a few pennies so it is hardly worth it.
