When you say turn it off, do you mean with the remote or do you unplug it? The Squeezebox family is never "Off", when you press Power or select 'Turn Off Player' from the SBC, the unit goes into standby (or sleep if you prefer), but anything but Off. If you are not unplugging it and it starts working again after being asleep, it sounds like a network issue or software conflict on your PC. Most people start fiddling with the Duet/SB3 when they should leave it alone until they eliminate their own network or PC/Server being the issue. After all the Squeezebox family of products are Network Devices. If the PC/Server or network are not playing nice the Squeezebox doesn't have a chance to play at all. I find many people quick to blame the product when it is their Network, PC/Server, Firewall, software conflict, LAN or PC power saving settings, or AntiVirus that is actually the problem. Sometimes all that is needed is to reboot ones PC and restart SC. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48751 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
