SVR HDT500 no picture problems

SVR HDT500 no picture problems

Hi. 

 

The the only way I can get a picture out of this unit is to turn it off at the plug, then back on again. Once on it works fine and even after turning off (on the unit only, not power) it records a scheduled programme fine.

 

When I try and turn it back on (without power disconnect) it's mainly either a black screen or one single green dot top of screen or a few bands of scrambled and pixelated colour bars across parts of the screen.

 

Has been retuned for the new Freeview channels and not had a firmware update since new.

 

Any help on this would be great.

Hi there

 

The latest firmware was released in July 2011.  You should be on version 4.21.r8585.  If not, goto this page: HERE and update it.

 

However, I believe you issue is more related to a HDMI connection issue.  Try swapping the HDMI cable for another one.  You coud also try using another HDMI port on the TV.

 

Cheers
