Elite Mini AM/FM/Shortwave Radio

The compact Et?n Mini radio lets you tune in to your favorite local stations or listen to news and music from across the globe with an internal AM antenna and a ...

how are your four outside speakers hooked up? If you have four speakers hooked up to only two output channels on the receiver, the receiver is sensing a short and shutting down to avoid damage to the amp.

Since this is in the computer section i would assume you are using a computer or laptop to play music. You can download a program such as AIMP to give you the ability to create large playlists across multiple folders and hard drives.

when listening to music and alert comes through the music will always pause, so that you can check the score, read alert or whatever........ to continue music just press play........ in your case shut it off and restart (boot it up again)

I don't think I am actually solving this, but I think I may have a reason why it is happening. I am having the same problem with the radio turning off after about three minutes (I, too, had to reinstall the firmware).
I think the system sees the player as "inactive" when in radio mode and shuts down after a few minutes of "inactivity" -- even though you are, in reality, listening to the radio. The exact same thing happens when you pause an MP3 you are listening to; the system will see the player as inactive (because the music is paused) and shut down after a few minutes.
Maybe there isn't anything in the system (firmware?) that can differentiate the inactivity of just listening to music coming in through an antenna and the inactivity of paused digital music?
Feel free to send this to Coby tech support and see what comes back.

Check your speakers one by one, maybe one of them are about to burn that´s the reason your device turn on protection state,good luck

i cant put music must do the think put it music steven

Turn it on by holding in the power button - it is normal for that model to go to sleep while it is playing, as a powersaving feature - but it shouldn't stop playing the music, the screen should just go away. Usually pressing any key will wake it back up.

this is normal for this player - it goes to sleep fairly quickly - se p.35 of manual to see how to change frequency of shut off
