Can you choose to have it play all night long? Or does it always shut off after 40 min?

The bear I purchased automatically shuts off after 40 minutes. To my knowledge, it will not play all night.

You can't. It is helpful to play it to help the baby relax and fall in deep sleep, but once the baby does- the sound could actually wake him/her up if it kept running, so it might not be a good idea to keep it running all night anyway.

It will shut off after 40 min. If it plays all night the batteries will constantly run low.

Yes you can run the sounds all night. You just set the timer to "off" and press the sound button. If you turn on the timer, you have to select 30, 60, or 90 minute play. Just turn the timer off. Hope this helps.

I can play mine 24/7 for about 2 to 3 days. And, it's probably capable of playing longer. I just getit on the charger before the warning starts going off. I really like it. Not meant for someone who is extremely rough on things. But, if taken care of, I can see this player lasting a very long time. Really like it!

I know the deluxe version does. There's a switch on the bottom that selects either 20 minutes or on, which on will just stay on until you turn it off.

Yes. It will play all night. Also in my review I said the numbers on the overhead display were backwards. You can rotate the display 180 degrees so it shows the time correctly.

It has a timer if you only want it to operate for a set time. Otherwise it plays continuously. It's the best product I've ever found, and I've owned sound machines for many years! Its sound range is from quite low to VERY loud - excellent to sleep through announcements on cruises!

The machine stays on all night, unless you use the timer, ie. set it to go off at 30 min, 60 min, etc. I just leave mine on all night, usually on white noise or waterfall sounds. I use it every night; one of my best purchases ever.

The sounds stays on all the time. You can easily turn the volume up and down on the side. There is also a button you can push on top to turn the video on or off anytime you want. It does not come on only if movement or noise. I keep it plugged in on my nightstand at night and will turn the video off and the sound up a notch or two. If I heard her fussing I just push the button to see what's going on and then turn it off and go back to sleep. This thing is great!!! I swear by it. It's just so easy to use.

I've never run it all night, but it has an on and off switch. I turn it on when I want it to run and turn it off when I am ready to stop it. If I didn't turn it off, I'm sure it would run all night.

yes it can do continuous play, one of the reasons I wanted. I like to listen to music all night long.

I have two of these (one for each child) and love them. This sound machine will play until you turn it off. We play the white noise for our kids all night. It does have the option to automatically shut off, but I've never even tried it. I love this machine! Another great feature is that it can be plugged in or battery powered, this is great for when the power goes out! :-). Hope that helps!

I've never used this feature, but to answer you question my husband turned on the music. Apparently each of the 5 songs plays for about 30 seconds and then plays again,and again, and again for approximately 20 minutes. You select which song you want to play. I hope this answers your question. The monitor is really a sanity saver because it lets me do some things while the baby sleeps. One more thing, don't expect to see anything on the screen in bright sunshine. It is completely washed out in that kind of light, but well worth having outside because you can hear the baby when he wakes up. I wouldn't be without it.

If you play continuously it will run out in a few hours. The only way I can charge it is to plug it into the computer. The screen has no backlight so its hard to look at to play anyways.

Yes! It will play continuously unless you select otherwise (it has a timer button).

It plays continuously and has a nice volume adjustor so you can turn it down low or up loud. I've had different ones over the years and really like this one. The only time it ever goes off on its own is if the power goes off. When the power comes back on, you have to turn it back on again.

I use rechargeable and it played for over 80 hours in one sitting. Not bad.

Yes, you can set it to turn off after 30 minutes by pushing the button with a picture of a clock. Or set it to play until you turn it off.
