STILL TIMER
To protect the disc against shock and vibrations, and to lengthen the life
of the laser diodes, the unit automatically enters standby off mode
whenever a specified time elapses in a disc stop mode (stop mode or the
still picture mode of search mode). This allows you to set the time after
which the unit exits a disc stop mode and enters standby off mode.
0.5 s (0.5 sec)... 8 m (8 min)... 30 m (30 min)
: Can be set in the range
from 0.5 seconds to 30 minutes.
off
: Do not put into standby off mode.
