When the computer is in Sleep mode, it appears off, but you can actually still perform tasks such as recording TV programs or music files. Sleep mode turns off the display and mutes the audio.

You can activate Sleep mode by pressing the Sleep button on the computer, keyboard, or remote control.

by pressing any key on the keyboard, by moving the mouse, or by pressing any button on the remote control.

To change the computer power settings:

1Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, and then click Control Panel.

5Click Change plan settings.

6Click the drop-down arrow next to turn off the display to select a time span to turn off the display.
