Tom, It sounds to me that there are two separate issues.
First, I've found that the NLS player's sleep option works by turning off the machine after the designated time has elapsed. It does so automatically. Otherwise, what would be the point? It's supposed to accommodate people who fall asleep while reading and to save battery power. Also, as you say, the machine is supposed to switch off regardless if not in use for half an hour. I think your machine must be defective. If your machine does have a defect, what may be a more difficult question arises. I believe NLS is still behind on its DTB shipments. You'd need to check your NLS branch to find out what they can do concerning repair and replacement. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 5:17 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Looking For Some Information Concerning NLS Player Hello List: I realize that this isn't "Bard Talk (I'm not on that list)..but I know that some of you use the NLS players..and maybe you can tell me if you've run into this: I apparently forgot to turn my player off last night! This shouldn't be a problem, since it's supposed to shut itself off if not playing a book..right? Apparently not! Last night, I think it still had fifteen hours left. But today when I started to listen to a book, it informed me that it only had an hour! But it didn't even give me that much; I had taken the player out to the porch so I could listen while I took my walk on the treadmill (I had set the sleep timer for thirty minutes)..well..I actually started about ten minutes before I took the machine out there...I had been out on the porch, walking along and listening to my book..when it suddenly said "battery low; player off!" And with that, it stopped! So my question is: what's with the "thirty minutes" thing (is it..or is it not..supposed to shut itself off if you stop playing a book..but don't actually turn off the power? If you'd rather write me offlist concerning this matter, my email is tomca...@comcast.net If you choose to write me offlist, please put something in the subject line to indicate that you are replying to my question concerning the NLS digital player!
