Manhattan T4•R

Why does my T4•R go into standby by itself?

Your T4•R has two auto standby settings that help reduce energy consumption.

By default:

  • No Remote Use puts your T4•R into standby after 3 hours without any remote control use.
  • No Audio or Video puts your T4•R into standby after 15 minutes without audio or video content.

Paused content still counts as audio or video, so the No Audio or Video setting will not put your T4•R into standby just because live TV, a recording or streamed content is paused.

To change these settings:

  1. Go to Home → Settings → System → Standby Options → Auto Standby.
  2. Select No Remote Use or No Audio or Video.
  3. Choose your preferred time, or select Off.

The available options are:

  • No Remote Use: 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or Off.
  • No Audio or Video: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes or Off.

Increasing these times, or turning auto standby off, may increase energy consumption.

Software 2.12 or earlier

If your T4•R is on software 2.12 or earlier (you can check under Home → Information), it has a single Auto Standby setting instead, which puts it into standby after a set time without any remote control use. To change it, go to Home → Settings → System → Standby Options → Auto Standby and choose 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or Off.
