Humax DRT800 DVD Recorder Questions & Answers
My humax drt800 is only responding to the remote
Yes this indicates a failed I/R received on the DVR. It is quite difficult to replace, nigh impossible if you have never done repairs like this before.
Have you done electronic repairs like this before, including soldering and removing circuits? Please let me know and I can help you find the part, otherwise I would suggest you either get it repaired by Humax which may be expensive, or just replace the DVR. Unless it's under warranty of course, then we want to claim it under warranty...
Thanks

MACHINE LOCKED UP SO I UNPLUGED IT AND NOW ITS
Oh no, that's not good. I would actually unplug it again, let it sit a few minutes (at least 3) and try plugging it in again. Report back and let me know, does it still get stuck on that intro screen?
Let me know and we will keep going.

HUMAX PVR-I50T VIDEO RECORDER
Hello,
the problem is from your the DVD's main board. The cause of the
problem is high electricity voltage or irregular power supply that passed through the power
board into the main board. This is why it is advise able to always use
step down for DVD players because any high/excess current can damage the main board inside the player.
The DVD main board carries the whole function of the unit, and anything that happens to the board, will affect all other functions on the of the player. Its just like a motherboard.
I would advice you take it to a technician to ascertain the main fault and get it fixed.
Good luck.
Humax 5000t does not find HD channels when scanning
If your Humax 5000t is not finding HD channels during scanning, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check signal strength: HD channels may require a stronger signal compared to standard-definition channels. Make sure your antenna or cable connection is secure and properly aligned. You can also try repositioning the antenna or cable to improve the signal strength.
- Perform a full rescan: Sometimes, a full rescan can help resolve channel detection issues. Go to the settings or menu of your Humax 5000t and find the option to perform a full rescan or channel search. This process may take some time, so be patient and allow it to complete.
- Update the firmware: Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues and affect channel scanning. Check if there is a firmware update available for your Humax 5000t. Refer to the manufacturer's website or user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware. Follow the recommended steps carefully to avoid any potential issues.
- Verify broadcast standards: Ensure that your Humax 5000t is compatible with the broadcast standards used in your region. Different countries and regions may use different broadcast standards for HD channels. Check the specifications of your Humax device and confirm that it supports the specific HD broadcast standard used in your area.
- Reset to factory settings: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Humax 5000t to factory settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all your saved settings and recordings, so make sure to back up any important data beforehand. Look for the reset option in the settings menu of your device and follow the on-screen instructions.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's advisable to contact Humax customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting guidance based on your model and help you resolve the problem with HD channel detection.

Question edited for a lot more clarity.

" I have tried all suggestions in your manual "
Not OUR manual, we are Fixya dot com, we are nothing to do with Humax, we are not who you think we are.
First, fully disconnect all devices from mains power for 15 minutes, router, television and the Humax Box. Plug in the router first, then the Humax and finally the television. It will take about 15 minutes for them all to come back online after the reset and all recognise each other. This is called a 'Power Cycle' and reloads all the software and connections. Then try again.
If that doesn't fix it, you can fully Factory Reset the Humax unit, or you can just go into Settings and put the router settings back in SSID and Password.
