RE: Ignore this one! Inadvertantly clicked mouse and posted blank message

Had to laugh at being called a cultural retard by someone whose lack of wit forces them into swearing as a response.

RE: Ignore this one! Inadvertantly clicked mouse and posted blank message

Thanks for your kind words. If you read the first sentence of my second message in the other thread you`ll be less impressed!

Had to laugh at being called silly by someone describing themself as a `badass dude`.

RE: Philips DVDR70 RGB loopthrough in standby?

Thanks for the ideas Fred, but I know it`s something to do with the recorder `cos of the change in picture quality on the when the Philips is switched between on/standby. The telly`s definitely getting RGB when the Philips is on - so I know the cabling, freeview box/tv settings and scarts used are all good/correct.

To back this up, when the recorder is in standby you can toggle the freeview box output between RGB/composite and not see any change in quality on the tv, by the time the signal gets to the tv it`s composite video regardless of what the freeview box output is. If you repeat this test with the Phlips switched on you get a clear difference.

Are you certain you were getting RGB through on standby? Would be useful to know whether this is a problem with mine or a general design inadequacy with this model.

RE: Ignore this one! Inadvertantly clicked mouse and posted blank message

No, I clicked `new thread` entirely intentionally (see my other message posted at similar time).

The premature submission was the only accidental click.

Are you going to tell me you`ve never made an unintended mouse click/key-stroke?

Philips DVDR70 RGB loopthrough in standby?

I`ve just bought one of these, and have one small issue with it. According to a review of this model it should provide an RGB loopthrough with the recorder on or in standby.

In reality I`ve found that RGB loopthrough is only provided when the recorder is switched on, in standby the RGB input is degraded to composite video before being output to the TV. It`s a bit annoying having to switch the recorder on just to get RGB to the TV - does anyone know if there`s any way around this? I know you can get firmware updates, but have no idea if this issue is likely to be addressed.
