Problem for Sony RDR-HXD860 (160 GB) DVD Recorder / HDD Recorder

DVD recorder won't start up properly




By joeymarshall on Apr 08, 2009

" "
My DVD recorder is only 3 years old. Sony DVD I think the model number is RDH-HXD760. The problem is it won't start up correctly. The welcome message stay on and nothing further happens. There is a very loud fan noise as well. Sometimes if I turn it on and off on the wall several times I can get it it reboot- but this is taking more time each time. Do I take it to the DVD recorder doctor or ?????

Same Problem

-   I have the same problem with my RDR-HXD-860 which is only about 14 months old. It has only started happening since the digital switchover in my area (Beacon Hill Devon). The general opinion on the net seems to be that it is software related. Any suggestions? -   geoff808
