If it happens when you're not using it, it may have some sort of power-saver device.

As scalag said, it may have a power-saving device.

Check the set-up menu. Sounds like a power-off setting has been set.

If it happens while you are using it, then there is something wrong with the unit.

Someone with direct experience with the XS-35 will have to answer that.

Note on watching TV with TV Guide On Screen

If you leave the recorder turned on without executing any action for about 3 hours, a message will appear on the TV
asking you want to continue watching TV.
If you want to continue watching TV, press ENTER.
If you do not press ENTER, the recorder will automatically turn off within about 10 minutes.
