Hi all,
Just joined this forum, which looks awfully useful. Have just connected up an HDR-1100S, and am very impressed with the results. However, have still not figured out how to turn it on reliably - we find we have to switch if off and on again at the wall. Is this a faulty unit, or are we going mad (no need to answer that), or is there some secret about the sequence of turning on the TV (a new Sony KDL-32W705C) and the Humax box that we haven't grasped?
You may find that the TV and Humax share different views on what something called HDMI-CEC should operate.
This is quite a complex subject gives the differing boot times of the TV and Humax depend on the model and when the user initiates each power-on.
The typical problem is as you describe and also powering off one unit powers off the other.
Disable HDMI-CEC on the TV - each manufacturer call this different things (Except, Hitachi (well done)) Sony call this BRAVIA Sync.
Recommend you try this and standby cycle both units (TV first) and setting.
