To make sure I am not misleading you, I decided to find the Panasonic
Instruction Manual [which BTW is the worst organized I have ever seen],
and see what it says... if I could find it.
Unfortunately, the only thing about "Auto-OFF" that I can find quickly is
under "SPECIAL VCR Features". I read somewhere that this manual hasn't been
updated in 4 years [which is easy to believe]... so I don't know what to
tell you. I do know though, that I wasn't using the VCR... when mine shut
down... for whatever reason. :)
