How to defeat Pioneer DV-58AV auto power shut-off?

I am currently using a modified Pioneer DV-58AV Universal Player. Modded Player has balanced 2 channel Digital, and
same Analog Outputs. My current system utilizes a lot of Tubes ( Especially rectifying Tubes ) requiring extensive warm up periods. Start-up sequence includes DV-58AV, which shuts down within 10 minutes after it's start-up without use. Tried leaving drawer out- 10 minutes later drawer automatically shuts, and player promptly shuts down. This
drives my Tubed DAC nuts! Typically I let my System warm up for 30 minutes. Is there a way to defeat auto power shut off
after non-use on Pioneer DV-58AV???

DAC is safe. E-mailed Pioneer Service Center. They claim the same, that non-use auto shut off is not defeatable.
Pain in the ____ though!

Thanks for the inputs. Strictly using DV-58AV to playback 2 Channel CD, SACD, and High Res. DVD-Audio MLP. Strictly using it for Audio Disks, and connected to Audio System only. Do not have DV-58AV HDMI connected to TV. I am not controlling DV-58AV thru TV/HDMI. Strictly controlling DV-58AV thru remote, and front panel. Connected DV-58AV to TV once only to set configuration. Disconnected it, and used the unit for strictly Audio only ( Utilizing Blue-Ray Player for Video ). DV-58AV makes a decent CD Transport to my DAC, decent SACD playback, and exceptional High Res. DVD Audio MLP Disk playback. Downmix of multi-channel 24/96 to 2 Channels the best digital I have ever heard. Damn shame about MLP Disks. Going to have to wait a long time to have the same available as Downloaded Music Files- perhaps someday multi-channel high res. downloads??? One can only hope. Unit shutting off throws the digital lock on my Tubed
DAC off. I am fearful this Units shut down could possibly damage DAC. Possible/not possible- I don't know.
