      If your Yamaha Subwoofer turns on unexpectedly, it might be due to noise from nearby appliances activating it. Try moving the subwoofer away from these appliances or repositioning the connected speaker cables. If the AUTO STANDBY switch is set to HIGH, try setting it to LOW. As another option, you can set the AUTO STANDBY switch to the OFF position.

      If your Yamaha Subwoofer doesn't automatically enter standby mode, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, noise from external appliances might be keeping it active; try moving the subwoofer away from these appliances and/or repositioning the speaker cables. Also, make sure the AUTO STANDBY switch isn't set to OFF; setting it to the HIGH or LOW position might solve the problem.
