I have had a PVR9300T for a few years and was using a SCART lead to my Sony TV. The picture quality suddenly reduced considerably so I've now changed to an HDMI lead which fixed the picture but I have lost some functions:
1. clicking on a upcoming programme on the guide produces a reservation but doesn't subsequently record. (I do now have a new "schedule" button on the menu that does work). The record now button also works ok.
2. the volume control on the Humax remote shows the volume bar on the tv, but does not modulate the volume. (The "mute" button does work). So we can only now change the volume using the TV remote.
Do I need an extra cable?

I have had a PVR9300T for a few years and was using a SCART lead to my Sony TV. The picture quality suddenly reduced considerably so I've now changed to an HDMI lead which fixed the picture but I have lost some functions:The most likely explanations for the picture quality change would be either the SCART connector at one or the other working loose or the settings for the SCART output changing; have a look under Preferences>A/V Control>TV-SCART and try each of the three options.
1. clicking on a upcoming programme on the guide produces a reservation but doesn't subsequently record. (I do now have a new "schedule" button on the menu that does work). The record now button also works ok.
Sorry I don't understand what has happened maybe a 9300T user has some suggestions.
2. the volume control on the Humax remote shows the volume bar on the tv, but does not modulate the volume. (The "mute" button does work). So we can only now change the volume using the TV remote.
Again a 9300T user might make a more informed comment but I don't find that surprising; I don't think another cable would help.

Change the sound output to stereo/pcm.

Change the sound output to stereo/pcm.I think on a 9300T which doesn't support HD the options are stereo or mono. I agree it is worth trying to toggle the setting and see what happens.
I have just read the manual and now I remember why I didn't bother replacing my 9200 when this came out

When I had a PVR-9300T I did not use HDMI but the manual does state:
If your receiver is connected to a TV that does not support
compressed audio using a HDMI cable, the audio may not
function. Select another audio option other than compressed
audio.The non-recording may be just the normal and a coincidence that it has happened at the same time. The usual first approach is to make sure that it is not being caused by the usual and to action a manual retune on a way that ensures the PVR is tuned to only 1 transmitter.
This cures non-recoding so often it is not worthwhile investigating further until there is confidence that the PVR is really just tuned to 1 transmitter.

Thanks, tried changing to mono but no difference. I'm already only tuned to one transmitter.

Do I need an extra cable?Searching on the internet there are many others who have asked the same, or similar, question. Volume control on a PVR-9300T via HDMI does not appear possible.

Thanks for all your inputs. I would reply to each individually but I only see one reply box at the bottom of the page. So;
Martin, I changed from SCART because the picture quality suddenly deteriorated. I've tried different leads but each is the same. The picture option on my TV now only shows "Cinema 1" or "Cinema 2" with SCART whereas I previously had many more (e.g. vivid etc). I now have these options with HDMI only. I wonder if my TV software has been updated and caused the problem.
Luke, thanks, now I know the volume control is an HDMI feature that I can't fix. Also I have manually tuned to only one transmitter (Mendip) using the channel info on their website.
Anyway thanks to all for these. I guess I'll have to live with what I have.| Fri 21 May 2021 15:43:20 #10 |
