Do Samsung soundbars turn off automatically?

Answered by John Hunt

Samsung soundbars do have an automatic power-saving feature that causes them to turn off after a certain period of inactivity. This feature is designed to conserve energy and prolong the life of the soundbar.

One situation in which the Samsung soundbar may turn off automatically is when there is no audio signal for 20 minutes in BD/TV/USB/HDMI/ARC/D.IN modes. This means that if you are not playing any sound through the soundbar, such as watching a movie or listening to music, the soundbar will detect the lack of audio signal and automatically shut off after 20 minutes.

This can be a bit frustrating if you are in the middle of a movie or a show and the soundbar suddenly turns off. However, it is important to note that this feature can usually be disabled or adjusted in the settings menu of the soundbar. So, if you find this automatic power-saving feature bothersome, you can usually turn it off or adjust the time period before the soundbar turns off.

Personally, I have experienced this automatic power-saving feature with my Samsung soundbar. There have been times when I have paused a movie or a show for more than 20 minutes, and when I hit play again, I realized that the soundbar had turned off. It can be a bit inconvenient, but I understand that it is designed to save energy.
