The instructions are on page 813 and 814 of the parameter guide. (You can download the parameter guide from Korg site as PDF on your computer)

I appreciate your reply, but like others here, the option isn't in the global menu. I am missing two of the new options: the auto power off and the back panel LED control. The second makes sense since my older X doesn't have a back panel LED, but as I explained, my Kronos DOES power itself down automatically if left alone for a long time. I would have expected to have the power down option available in the menu since the board is capable of the function.

That's why I was asking if others who are missing the option have boards that will power themselves off after a few hours of inactivity. (I've never actually timed it, but it takes a while.)

Do you get this on start-up?

If Auto Power-off is enabled, a dialog box indicating the time until automatic power-off will appear immediately after start-up.
The dialog box will close automatically after a few seconds. The hourglass icon shows how much time is left before it closes. If you touch this icon, the hourglass will pause (shown by a red “X”) and the dialog box will remain open. To close the dialog box, press the Change Setting or OK buttons, or simply wait for the hourglass to complete.

No, I don't.

<ADD> I guess I'm out of luck. The keyboard shuts itself down after a long period of inactivity (probably 4 hours but I'm not sure). I was hoping to be able to disable the auto shutdown because sometimes I take breaks and if I don't remember to save everything (songs, sequences) before I stop and take too long to return, I'll lose all the work.

I'll just have to get into the habit of saving to disk often. It's a good practice anyhow.

P.S. The v3.0.2 upgrade did add the fan noise/speed option, so it did do something.

I also installed Sub-System firmware v6.04 but the only change I've seen are the nine synth icons on the startup page.

This topic is Bump Worthy.

In that some owners are experiencing unexpected shut down.

The auto off could be a cause.

My Kronos 2 is from 2015 - the Kronos actually PHYSICALLY flicks the switch. So when it powers off, the power switch is in the off position. When it turns off you can hear a loud CLICK when the switch goes off. Pretty cool!

I have Kronos X, which was bought in late 2013. On global page0, among menu items, I don't have any option about power off or power on!
It's not something that I need, but only info for other users of Kronos X.

This my be relevant; copied from another posting:

"Interstingly, the Kronos and Kronos X do have auto power off, but only later units in each series. I have the relevant serial number info somewhere."

The feature was Euro required. Initially specific to Kronos 1 and X's in those countries.
