HR20-100s - Will not playback recorded programs

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I've had two of these machines for a couple of weeks now and they seem to have a few 'bugs':
1. When changing channels, it takes five-to-ten seconds for the new channel to appear (both SD and HD).

2. When I pick a program to record, it indicates it is recording and when finished the recorded program is listed, but, when I press play (or select), the only thing that appears onscreen is the 'delete this program' or 'don't delete' options. No matter how many times I press 'Play' or 'Select' on the listed recorded programs, the screen just remains black, although the 'Program Information' and the run-time bar do appear onscreen. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong. It worked fine for about a week, then 'whammo!', bye bye football games, etc.

First for your first problem to speed it up turn native mode to off in the menus and then select only hd formats so uncheck 480i and 480p in the menus. its fastest if only 1080i is selected but if you l ike 720p and your tv supports it then the extra second it will take may be worth it to ya. It will look beter and run faster.

Second for your recording problem reset it with the red button on the front behind the card door, it may clear your faulty recordings but it should work again, it may be possible this could also solve some of your system slowness. Its normal to need to reset this way occasionally, its the same as unplugging it but does not cause damage to the HDD.

Thanks! Pressing the red reset button solved the playback problem. Much appreciated.
