just to recap , my player is using firmware 3.2.16.

I set brightness to 6 (although i dont think this is a factor)

I set LCD/Darkle to 10 (Ensure you press 'play' to confirm)
I set LCD/Dark to 10 (Ensure you press 'play' to confirm)

I set Sleep and OFf settings to zero (Ensure you press 'play' to confirm)


I think the key is to press play to confirm each setting. Once set up the screen will go off after a few seconds even though the player stays on (exception is of coarse when playing a video file). Settings will stay once you use play button to turn off/on player.

Hope this can help someone else out there!!
