Look, I'm up for saving the planet as much as the next person. However, when I bought a Logitech set of speakers and subwoofer for my TV a year or so back, little did I realise they contained a completely STUPID feature that I believe comes under the eco category.
If the volume is quieter for a while, the unit will eventually sense this as no audio being received from the input source (in my case TV) so it assumes the source is off and simply goes into sleep mode. I'm sitting here now watching the football, volume not too quiet, not too loud, just right when you want to chill.
Off it goes!
To bring the unit back to life, you have to turn the source volume up to a higher level, thus bringing the Logitech set out of sleep mode, then turn the volume back down again. The strange thing is, if the volume is really quiet, sometimes it doesn't cut off!! Seems to be a range within which it detects 'no source volume' even though there is.
It can't be turned off and is apparently an eco feature. Some folk have complained to Logitech saying if you have this set configured for a PC/desktop, you're usually sitting really close to the speakers so don't always need the volume that high, thus meaning it keeps turning itself off.
Stupid stupid feature that should at least have an 'off' switch!!!
