By adjusting the settings or managing the power supply properly, it is possible to save battery power for longer usage time between charges.

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.

Set [Display Lyrics] to other than [On (No Screen Off)].
Set [Karaoke/Language Study] to other than [Maximum Karaoke Mode] or [Minimum Karaoke Mode].
Reduce the [Brightness] setting value.
