Apparently the "timer" starts over after the last remote input. This is pretty much only for TV's (built-in tuner), rather than plain displays.

A display with this feature would probably call it something like "no signal shutoff", it would *not* be looking at remote control signals to trigger, just the A/V input signal.

Whether sleep timer or no activity shutdown, mine displays warning messages starting 15/5 minutes before shutdown, then every minute in the last 5. I don't use these features, haven't for a very long time, so I'm unclear on the exact details.

Now that I think of it, it would make sense that any kind of shutdown timer display these messages. So if you're not seeing them, it's probably not a shutdown timer, unless there's something built-in that's totally non-defeatable (doubt that, that would limit the display's application).

Could there be some kind of store/demo/etc. mode in effect that you have to cancel? Mine's a Pio Kuro so you know it's at least 5 years old, and I vaguely recall I had to turn off some kind of mode the TV was in when first received (new). You could only do this once without getting "advanced". It might make sense that some initial non-defeatable shutdown mode be enabled, without messages so it doesn't "scare" customers when it's on display. I'm grasping here...much easier to judge when in front of the gear...
