Several Rotel models feature an Auto Power Down Timer option that will allow the unit to power off automatically after a specified period of time with no signal or activity.

In certain Stereo models, the sleep timer circuitry cannot detect analog signals and so it reacts as if the unit is not in use and shuts down after the timer expires.

The default power off setting is 20 minutes of inactivity for products sold in the UK and EU markets - this setting is based on a recent EU requirement to reduce power consumption. All other regions default the power off timer to Disabled.

In either case above, the timer setting can be easily set or disabled via the Setup menu for the unit. We recommend disabling this feature if you intend to use the device with analog sources such as Turntable or a Tuner.
