Hello again,
Have tried several more times to test this function.
I have had the machine since last July and it always shut off at 30 minutes up until a few weeks ago.
Per instructions went into the menu and disable the auto power off,, apparently even with it on the machine was shutting off at 30.
Once the auto power was disabled, the machine was again set at 30 minutes, which did not affect the turn off at all,the machine
remained open.
However after testing it at the 10 minute time set, the machine did turn off.
Today i just tested it again at 15 minutes shut off, and the machine did turn off.
Then i just finished doing the 30 minute stint again,, the machine is still on.
Am curious as to if anyone has tried the different time options and found that the machine does not like the 30 minute shut off
and don't know why after 6 months it has decided to disregard the 30 minute shut off and opt for 10 or 15.
Am wondering Eileen whether your machine shuts off at 30 minutes.. as i understand that the 10 minutes work for you.
Although some may wonder why such a small inconvenience is garnering so much attention, well, 1st got used to the 30 minute
shut off as well with the s975 (no problems) 2nd this was not an inexpensive piece of machinery and for the money do want
to get what paid for.. Yes, can live with shutting off machine myself, no problem and the 15 minutes is a fair amount of time
to return to whatever you are working on at the moment,,, ex. working on registrantion or multi track and get a phone call
or interupted somehow,, you want to keep the data upon return.
Also as mentioned the 1.3 update was already in machine when delivered... and it worked fine .
Torril mentioned a reset.... anybody else with the same thoughts...
Thanks to all of you who have participated in this thread.
cheers
