Why is my Humax not shutting down when it should?

[makem]

My HDR-FOX T2 is not shutting down after a scheduled recording.

Some 8 hours after a scheduled recording the drive is still spinning and the unit is quite hot. The next recording is not due for a further 4 hours.

Editorial comment: "The presents of corrupted recordings…" should read "The presence of corrupted recordings…"

OTOH I suppose one could look upon a corrupted recording as being an unexpected present of a rather unwelcome kind...
