Power off
the amount of time of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the system
shuts down.
The system will not shut down during a slideshow or audio/video playback.

play turns off.
The display will not turn off while a video or slideshow is playing.
Hard Drive
the amount of time before the hard drive stops spinning after the time of the
last file access. With a longer time, the disk turns more often and response
times are quicker when accessing files, but power consumption is higher.
Caution: this setting should only be changed by experienced users.
Your ARCHoS ™ device will consume more power as these parameters are set to
higher values (the backlight and hard drive in particular consume much power).
When in battery mode, it is advised to set these parameters to lower values in order
to save power.
Your device will be hotter when the backlight and hard drive are on for long periods
of time.
