stevesmede,

We are sorry that this is the case. Other instances where this has become an issue, a full factory reset to factory default settings will relieve this issue.

Thanks for the quick reply, Tim!

I'll do that. I'm guessing now that the problem is NOT related to a setting issue, but is actually a technical malfunction? If so, I will pass that on to the rental house where I obtained it.
