Does anybody know how to stop the AIWA CX-NMT240 surround sound system from automatically dozing off every few minutes? The "Jogger" dial gives NO such option (what genius thought of this insane feature?). The accompanying manual (for model NSX-MT241) gives the stepS how to turn ON "econo-mode"; but the one step given to disable the energy saving feature fails.

AIWA is a giant company with no support forum at its site and the company's manuals are an insult. I'll NEVER buy another AIWA product.

By some fluke, I had the feature turned off once; and it ran for a whole movie, even at low volume. But I accidentally pressed some button on the remote control and can't reverse it. Does anybody know the secret to stopping this #$&!?! thing from shutting down, presumable to save a penny every month?

You can't disable the power saving feature? Try cycling the power. That may allow you to reprogram the unit. Otherwise, if you're doing what the manual says, it may be broken. I had a car stereo like that once - You couldn't set the clock. All other features worked but it wouldn't enter the clock setting mode. The only way to do it was to wait until noon or midnight and remove power at that time.

Thanks for your kind response. I discovered that if I disconnect power to the unit, the remote control once again allows me the option of disabling the ridiculous "economode" feature that shuts off the audio every few minutes. My AIWA audio system is working fine again. Man, the electronics industry surely could use some tech writers with a command of basic English.

Best regards,
Gman

The guys at IBM probably wouldn't like it... because it would take to much resources.

I guess you are correct. Running a grammar check to make sure a sentence contains a verb would be cost-prohibitive (to hell with the product user!).
