Parameter Description Parameter Description
Power Off 1-9 minutes or Never. The number of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the AV 700 shuts off.
During the playback of music or video fi les, this setting takes effect only after the fi les are fi nished playing.
Backlight Off 10-90 seconds, Never. The time of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the AV 700 turns off the screen to
conserve power. During the playback of video fi les, this setting only takes effect once the fi le is fi nished playing.
Hard disk 10-90 seconds. The number of seconds from the time of the last fi le access before the AV 700 tells the internal
hard drive to stop spinning. The longer this time is set, the more often the hard drive is turning and the quicker the
response time when accessing fi les. However, as it is set longer, it will quickly consume your battery. Caution: This
setting should only be changed by experienced users.
Standby 1-9 minutes, Never. The number of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the AV 700 goes into
Standby mode. When powered by the AC charger/adapter (or connected to a powered TV Docking Pod), the
AV 700 will not completely shut off. It will go into Standby mode. This way, it can wake up to make a scheduled video
recording.
A typical use of these settings is to set the power off, screen off, and hard disk to low values when used in battery
mode. When the power adapter is plugged in, you do not need to conserve energy and thus keeping the Power
on and the Backlight on makes using the AV 700 more agreeable. Increasing the hard disk value beyond the
default may actually discharge the battery even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in. Note also that your unit
will run hotter when the backlight and hard drive are on for long periods of time.
