We recommend connecting any home theater media center computers, 

or appliances containing a hard drive into the Always On socket. We 

recommend connecting home theater projection equipment which 

require a cool down period to the Always On socket. This will prevent 

damage to, and extend the life of your home theater projection lamps.

Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ has 2 power saving functions

1. 

 Standby Powerdown automatically detects and saves power 

wasted when equipment is left in standby mode, by switching the 

power off to the equipment.

2. 

 Active Powerdown® automatically switches the power off to Audio 

Visual (AV) equipment connected to the Power Saving socket  

after 1 hour, if it has not detected any remote control use.

NOTE:

 The Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ is programmable and 

has an Active Powerdown® default setting of 1 hour, which can be 

permanently set to 2 hours, or temporarily 8 hours (MusicMode™).

When will Active Powerdown® switch the Audio Visual (AV) 

equipment off?

• 

If your Embertec Emberstrip® 8AV+ detects that your Audio Visual (AV) 

equipment is on but has not been used for a period of 1, 2 or 8 hours 

(depending on your settings), the LED light on the Bluetooth® Smart 

Sensor will flash for approximately 10 minutes to warn you that 

power down is imminent.

To continue using your equipment

• 

Simply press the volume button on ANY of your existing remote controls 
or press any button on the Bluetooth™ Smart Sensor. This will cancel 

the Active Powerdown® and reset the timer.

NOTE: 

A flashing LED always means that your system will shut 

down completely in a while. Press any remote control button 

to stop the light flashing and continue using your system. 

Alternatively this can be controlled using the emberconnect™ app.

A flashing light means 

the system is getting 

ready to shut down.

TO CONTINUE 

USING YOUR 

EQUIPMENT

Press the volume  

button on your  

remote control.
