So, the speaker has a shut off switch or button on it?

You have to remember to turn it off. By the way, you can also use any cassette machine that has an auxiliary input as a speaker for the bookport if you wish. Just get a patch cable from Radio Shack that you run from the bookport to the cassette player. Once you're all plugged in, push play on the tape machine then 2 or the read key on the bookport and it will play through the cassette machine speaker. Cheers, Dave
