[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 147200, member: 172"] Re: JBL PRX series auto-off disable? No. The Energy Star requirements dictate only maximum power consumption, and a manufacturer is very much allowed to draw less than the maximum allowed. Take a look at the standard for yourself: [url]http://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Final%20Version%203.0%20AV%20Program%20Requirements%20%28Rev%20Dec-2014%29_0.pdf[/url] Another salient point in that standard is the requirement for an automatic power-off function, which can allow the manufacturer to avoid having to meet other parts of the standard if it is permanently enabled with a timeout of less than 30 minutes. My guess is that JBL took that exception, instead of reducing their idle power and presenting an option to disable the auto-off functionality to the user (allowed by the standard). [/QUOTE]
