My Panasonic DMR-BWT700 is conected to my TX-L37E30B TV via its HDMI1 terminal and the screen kept going blank, sometimes turning itself back on and sometimes having to use the "TV" button on the TV remote.
Panasonic said to use HDMI2 and this has cured the problem completely.
I asked what if I wanted to use HDMI2 as output to a future home cinema system and they said to then plug the video box into HDMI3. So HDMI1 must be redundant then?!
I have a TX-P42V20B plasma TV and a DMR-BW780 blu-ray DVD recorder. At least twice a day the TV screen goes blank (if on). Sometimes the TV restores itself, sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's the DVD recorder checking for TV schedule updates but how do I stop it intefering with the TV? Any help appreciated.
