Loss of Sound of HR21-200
I have my HR-21-200 hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver.
I went to watch American Idol with my daughter. At this point it had been recording for about 40 minutes. I got a picture but had absolutely no sound. Switched channels, still no sound. I noticed that when on an HD channel, the Dolby Digital light which is normally illuminated was not lit. The display read PCM. I hadn't made any changes and I had no problems with watching TV on Monday night. I even tried cycling thru all of the various Sound modes on the receiver.
I verified that it was not the HDMI cable. I received sound thru the receiver for both my XBOX 360 and Blu-Ray player. I also switched the Directv to the HDMI port that the Blu-Ray player was on. Still no sound. I double check the Audio menu on the DVR. It was set to Dolby Digital on. Even tried running the sound using an Optical Audio cable. Still no sound.
Did a factory reset of the Onkyo receiver. Still no sound. So now I knew it was something with the HR21-200. So finally after Lost finished recording, I was going to swap the DVR with the HR21-100 that I have in the bedroom, but decided to first do a red button reset.
After the HR21-200 rebooted, the sound came back. Dolby Digital light was on whenever it should be.
