Can the audio and screen be programmed to stay off at all times?

Audio could be off all time, I don't think screen could be off all time when recording.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

Can you turn off the voice over effect on the microphone or is it always on?

Yes you can select one sound and have it play all night or you can have it play one hour and shut itself off.

Yes. I have programmed one button to turn on tv and audio and another to turn both off. Also done for dvd, audio and tv. It takes some patience and a programmer's mentality, but it's all explained in manual.

Change display setting under "Settings" to Never. This also works with laptops and computer settings.

I suppose you can, you can turn off the sound and turn on vibrate. You can also dim the background so it's not distracting.

Yes. If you are having problems with this, you need to check the settings, as it can be programmed to turn off automatically.

No way to turn it off that I know of. It is probably a good safety feature.

Yes, a simple and obvious button toggles speaker on and off. Easy to find and remember, the bottom left button.

Afraid not. It can be set to stay on for a certain amount of time (1-8 hours) then turn off (similar to a sleep timer on a clock radio).

Yes, volume and mute controls as buttons, and play, stop, rewind etc. with Fn function

Yes! You can have the video on or off while you keep the audio on at all times...

There is no on/off button, at least to completely power it down. However there is a button that can mute/unmute the sound without having to use the windows sound controls.

Yes, it is in one of the functions with the setting button turning sound off.

Yes. Here's how the screen function works: 1. When not connected with the AC power adapter (solely on battery power) the screen will automatically time out after approximately 2 min. Audio will remain "on". You can keep the screen from turning off by pressing the screen button (lower right side, second from the bottom) which will keep the screen on but obviously use more power. 2. When connected to the AC power adapter simply press the screen button to toggle the screen on & off. Otherwise the default setting with the power adapter connected is the screen on. The audio will remain on and is adjustable via the onscreen menu. Hope this helps!

No there is no way to turn it off. Unless you tried to pull out the speaker. Which I'm sure would void any warranty, I'm not sure how hard that would be either.
