Hello to all of you... First post here for me, but I've had a bit of experience with satellite setups over the last couple of years.
The problem: I have a DVD recorder (Panasonic DMR-ES10) which is connected to two satellite receivers: a Humax CI 8100 and a Pace 3100 Sky+ box. The recorder has an 'external link' facility'; this means that if I would use a timer function on a satellite receiver the recorder automatically starts recording as soon as the sat receiver is turned on.
Unfortunately, this external link is triggered regularly without me using any timer function whatsoever on any of my receivers! It has happened I am recording something, and suddenly the recorder turns itself off, going into standby, mentioning 'external link' on its display. The function has also been triggered when the recorder was already in standby anyway. It has happened as well that 'external link' appeared on the display during a timer recording on the Panasonic; in that case it continues recording, and turns itself off afterwards.
The Pana users' manual says external link can only be triggered through a fully connected 21 pin SCART connection. The Pace digibox is currently the only apparatus hooked up to the recorder with such a cable. The Pace has been connected for some months with a SCART -> 3 X cinch cable; same results.
I suppose this is one of these nice software bugs digital machines always seem to have... Anyone any thoughts? Help would be greatly appreciated!
:-snowman And a merry christmas. All right, little bit too late... Or 360 days early!
