Just turn OFF!!! - Blu-ray Forum

CptGreedle · 07-31-2007, 02:54 PM

maybe you should.. move the remote somewhere so you won't accidentally touch it?
I don't have that problem myself.
Also... you can turn it off via a remote/control?

Yeah, you can. The only problem I notice is that you can't immediately shut it off. You have to wait for it to completley power up first...annoying.

Hit the main switch on the back

Walk to my PS3 and turn it off? Are you kidding me? lol

I don't have any problems with my PS3 turning on. The PS button is the only thing that turns my mine on. The only problem I have is when I'm watching movies and I bump into the analog sticks and fast foward my movie. But I've overcome that little problem by just putting it somewhere better. Simple solutions people.

CptGreedle · 07-31-2007, 03:00 PM

Hmm. Well if you do turn it off with the switch on the back, it won't turn on by mistake.
I'll have to figure out that power off via remote thing.

You can push the power button (not the switch on the back), just hold it down until it beeps and it will shut down.
OR..you can use your remote and hold down the PS button for 2 seconds, hit enter, then push the right arrow and enter...that will shut it down without having to turn on your tv. You don't need to see the commands if you can remember them

baccusboy · 07-31-2007, 03:09 PM

jermwhl, that's what I'm saying... I shouldn't have to go through so many commands just to turn the damn thing off!

Imagine if turning off our TVs were than complicated?

What's wrong with having a simple On/Off button on the remote??? Is that too much for Sony to do on a machine I paid $500+ for?

And I have to hold the button on the front of the PS3 down for more like 4 to 5 seconds to get it to turn off. Just using the switch in the back isn't something I think of as safe, I'm guessing.

if I accidentally hit the remote and turn it on...

all I do is wait a minute and hold the PS button and then hit enter twice....

Shin-Ra · 07-31-2007, 03:21 PM

Possibly the most ridiculous complaint I've ever read.

First of all the buttons on the BD remote are like those on any other Sony remote, I don't see how you can repeatedly 'accidentally' press one of those buttons.

Secondly it's no effort at all to turn the PS3 off with the on/off button on the console itself. Hold it for a few seconds.. off.

Seriously.

I hate to say it, but I agree. My daughter turns mine on all the time - a minor annoyance, but it is something that could be fixed.

Yeah, and I don't even have kids. I can imagine what it would be like to have kids and a cat.

And the power company thread made me laugh. Why should we need an on/off button on the remote when we can just call the power company??

MasterXeus · 07-31-2007, 02:57 PM

I don't have any problems turning my PS3 off.

grip24 · 07-31-2007, 02:59 PM

The best way I found for me is to just hold down the on/off button on the PS3 for 2 sec and itll shut off....so you wont have to turn your tv on to see whats happening.
