You nailed it.

I changed the menu setting this morning and didn't have a turn-off tonight. Thank you.

Two things are curious about this.

The 3-hour turnoff just started a couple months ago, to the best of my knowledge. But the Sharp is more than 3 years old.

The owner's manual calls this "No operation off" and says that it shuts the power down when there is no operation for 3 hours. I couldn't connect this -- still can't -- to actively watching the thing during what I would call normal operation that happens to extend past 3 hours. Besides, the manual also states that there is an on-screen count-down starting 5 minutes before turn-off. Never happened.

Anyway, thanks again, to everyone who responded, especially cdb.
