Sony HD/DVD Recorder probs
Suddenly my Sony HD/DVD recorder has started playing up, and wondering if anyone has had similar problems. Its a Sony RDR-HX525, and when trying to record to the HD it will record anywhere between 15sec-1min or so and then freeze.
On replaying the recorded section, there are a lot of dropouts, digital lines/banding across the picture and general unwanted digital artifacts on the screen.
The actual operation of the recorder itself seems very slow, it would take a while to bring up menu options etc.
I've formatted the HD and switched the unit off for some time, and although operation is now quicker, I'm still having problems with the record function.
I guess its a return to Sony, but I'm not sure if its still under warranty. Anyone else had similar problems, and managed to solve it ?
Cheers
