Steven,

Sorry to hear about your troubles with your EP-175's auto-on feature. I have the same sub, and haven't had any of the symptoms you describe. I leave mine on all the time, and when I power up my system, it kicks on after detecting a signal. It shuts off after the prescribed period of no signal, and it has worked perfectly like this for four months. Give Joe a call on their customer service line, and discuss it with him. Good luck.
