As a follow up to my worsening green screen saga detailed in post 78 above, Humax eventually agreed to change out my box and sent me the appropriate form. While copying off my saved recordings, I hooked the box up to a small Panasonic TV recovered from the loft and ....... no green screen...
I too have recently developed this problem. After faultless operation for more than two years, the HDR occasionally began to fail to handshake with the TV, resulting in a green screen. I found by trial and error that switching just the TV off and on again fixed this problem. However, over the...
Remember that the system will warm up quicker without the fan, so 1.75 hrs may be a little too long. The normal fan operation must also override this setting (as I assume it will), in order to to cater for the case if the PVR is turned off briefly after running for say, 1.74 hrs
A glance at the temperature graphs shows that to to produce a meaningful drop in disc temperature will require much more than a "sudden burst" of fan activity - more like several minutes. Any hot air removed will be promptly replaced.
All very good, the coolant gets hotter, but there is no way that the engine itself can possibly get any hotter as there is no longer any source generating heat.
The outside temperature will rise as there is no air flow to take away the residual heat, but it is impossible for the disc's internal temperature to rise as there is no longer any power being dissipated within. You can easily demonstrate this by turning the pvr off for a few minutes, then on...
I don't know if the following might help, I wrote it some time ago but never got round to posting it.
"I have been monitoring the HDR-FOX T2 for some time and found, as many others have commented, that the behaviour of the cooling fan is somewhat strange. Just to refresh our memories, nothing...
