Big Ben not turning on automatically.

I know it's a stupid gripe, but it's slightly annoying that my Big Ben word clock is the only piece of gear in my studio's rack that doesn't turn on when power is restored to it. I have to turn the rack on, AND hit the Big Ben's power button. It takes a whole 2 or 3 seconds, and I hate it!

Every time I forget to turn it on before opening up Logic, I feel the need to punch myself in the face. So instead of doing that, I'm just posting here to vent my stupidity/frustration.

I'm pretty sure there's a jumper inside the unit that can be set to automatically turn on when power is applied. That is the case for the AD/DA-16X. Check the manual.

wow a whole 2 or 3 seconds, that's definitely annoying

So you don't mind waiting for the tape to be rewound but those few seconds to power up the digital clock is like too much?? interesting

Yeh, and I also don't mind that Beyonce takes thirty minutes to shower even though Oprah gets it done in five.
