About battery life
By adjusting the settings or managing the power supply properly, it is possible to save battery power for longer usage time between charges.
The following hints will yield a longer battery life.
Turn off the player manually
If you press and hold the OPTION/PWR OFF button, the player enters standby mode and the screen turns off to save battery power. Furthermore, if standby mode continues for more than about a day, the player turns completely off automatically.
