    Hi all, my first post here.

    I have Automatic power down set to off but the box still keeps going into standby mode. I work at home and take regular breaks in front of the telly to catch up on the news etc so this is getting a bit irritating. I also have standby mode set to normal, if that's of any relevance here.

    Is there anything else I can try?

    Thanks in advance,
    Corrigap

    Have you checked the TV settings (For an auto standby option)?
    Most TV's also have this setting and what with HDMI-CEC it is very difficult to know what turned what off.

    HDMI CEC?

    My Philips TV has a software bug that switches this on from time to time (even though I have disabled it) result is the HDR being put into standby when I switch TV off.

    @ Repassac and Barry

    Thanks for the tip.

    Yes, I had a problem with HDMI-CEC early on so I turned this off on my TV. The box turns off quite some time after the TV has been turned off, say an hour or so, I haven't actually hung around to check the timings involved. But the box is certainly still on immediately after the TV has been turned off.

    Still check the TV settings - had the same problem here after the HDR-1000S was turned off. It Was the Philips TV. Think this must be EEC standard.

    Ok, I turned off the HDMI-CEC control completely on my Samsung TV and that seems to have done the trick. Before, I had only turned off the 'Auto turn off' function which did actually prevent the box from being turned off immediately.

    Thanks for the tip Repassac
