On the last two occasions when we have been away from home for a week without leaving the heating on (except for a frost stat which should maintain 10 degrees) some of the recordings made on the HDR FOX T2 during our absence have suffered from severe picture breakup and sound loss - some being completely unwatchable. Recordings made while we are in residence, with the house at normal temperatures, are ok.
The manual says that the operating temperature range is 0 - 45C.
Are there any known issues with the tuner being less sensitive at lower temperatures - particularly on HD?
Is it likely to help if we leave it ON while away, rather than on STANDBY, so that its own generated heat would keep it a few degrees above ambient?
Thanks, in anticipation, for your thoughts.
