I'm not so sure that it is the wrong answer... When running in the Simulator mode the unit should reset itself after a period of inactivity.
How long is the recording you are playing back?
Does it do it after a set period of time after the last button you pressed?
Does this happen when you force the unit into the Normal operation mode? (Press the MENU button when the title screen is displayed and than select the NORMAL mode when the display gives you that choice).

Nope. I havent tried it in the normal mode. I have run this unit hours after hour in the sim mode. The only time it locks up is when in the sim mode and at the end of a recording. Total lock up ain't a reset.

I still say wrong answer.

Book says I can set anything up in simulator mode. Book don't say anything about locking up. Book don't say anything about automatic resetting after a time out.

I think I am smart enough to know the difference between a lock up and a reset. I been around electronic stuff many moons.

I say this unit should not do this.

I have played with the unit hours upon hours. It never fails except this one case.

I like the 797. It like playing pack man.

I got playback of about 1-2 minute. I have had shorter and longer recordings (deleted). The also locked up at the end of the recording when in simulator mode.

I have version 3.720.

We be in a bad mess if our air line flight simulators "almost" worked. Simulator ought to simulate all conditions. If not, then it ain't a simulator.
