Ok, thank you very much. I am glad you could actually check it for me since nobody around me have ptr2. But just one more thing, I understand that in the case of ptr2 you have to enter the number of minits for the sleeptimer on the number pad, so now what is the range possible to enter for the minimum and maximum amount of minits?

Thank you for that, but I think you got me a little rong here, I ment if you leave the timer to go off on its own. So if I set it and leave it to go off, then when I turn it on the next time, will it be remembered? You see the thing that I would like to be able to set the power on timer to start the unit and then the sleep timer to shut it off again after a spisific amount of time, but if the sleep timer setting is not remembered such as it is the case with most plextalk players, then that won't work. I hope I make sense. Tel me if you understand I can explain again.

ptr1/ptr2 sleeptimer behaviour
by Aidan Maher 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

So could anyone tel me if the sleeptimer wil be remembered after its used, so if I set it for six minits, and I switch it on later after it expired, will it go off again within six minits or would I need to reset it? I ask as I don't have such a unit to test with. If you don't use ptr1 or ptr2 but you no someone who does, please let them contact me off list. My email is: aidan.smarttalk(a)gmail.com

Good afternoon to all you clever folks!! I have been looking through the manual for quite some time now but cannot find any way to delete separate headings in a title. I know that there is a way to delete a whole title but is there a way to delete whole headings? Regards Andre
