In the manual it says to turn down the input lvls when not using.

You should have no problems having it on all the time - I don't think I've ever seen a case where keeping it on has caused any kind of damage or problems. I know of a ton of people that have gear running 24/7 without issues.

We have always felt that electroncs wre better off left on. It' just the utility bills that suffer as long as heat is not an issue.
