    Anyone had problems with Sony STR- DN 1050 receiver?

    As I said earlier, I had just collected my replacement unit. That was four months ago. It also packed up. First receiver - power system problem. This unit - HDMI board faulty. No more Sony for me.

    Loss of TV picture.

    OK. Thanks. What is also strange is that it has now been three days since picture last lost, but it usually starts again at any time.

    Loss of TV picture.

    Actually it's 7.1 audio. STB is set at 1080i.

    Loss of TV picture.

    All devices were unplugged when connecting the receiver. Someone suggested connecting the STB directly to the TV instead of to the receiver, and leave the TV connected to the receiver.

    Loss of TV picture.

    Excuse my ignorance but Is STB a set top box? If so then I have not got one. My sat. decoder is actually a " HD personal video recorder decoder" and I find no setting options as suggested above for this device nor for my receiver..

    Loss of TV picture.

    I have my satelite decoder, Sony TV and Sony DN- 1050 receiver all inter-connected via HDMI cables. On a regular basis the TV picture disappears leaving a black screen. It usually takes a few minutes for it to return. However, if I switch the receiver off then on, then the picture immediately...

    I want to split a 2 hour movie.

    I hope this is the right section for my query. I have downloaded movies on a portable hard drive connected to a blu-ray player but have to watch an entire movie, unable to resume watching another time, as a re-start begins at the beginning. Can anyone suggest a program that will allow me to...

    Anyone had problems with Sony STR- DN 1050 receiver?

    You are totally correct. It is the blu-ray's screen saver. I switched it off and listened to my music. So far, so good. Here's hoping for years of problem free service from this receiver.

    Anyone had problems with Sony STR- DN 1050 receiver?

    I have just collected and connected the replacement unit. This is what scares me. My downloaded 3D movies and music are on my portable hard drive which I connect to the USB port on my blu-ray player. I started playing the music, the song details and duration are shown on the TV screen but after...

    Anyone had problems with Sony STR- DN 1050 receiver?

    Mine worked fine but packed up after two months. Sony are replacing the unit with a new one. My concern is whether I was simply unlucky to receive a unit with a faulty part or whether an entire batch are faulty. If the latter, then my new receiver could go the same way.

    Does keeping receiver on prolong its life?

    I live near the coast, very humid in summer. Maybe Marantz should place a warning on the unit, something like "not suitable for use near the coast" My Rotel amp lasted here for about fifteen years.

    Does keeping receiver on prolong its life?

    I have recently replaced my Marantz SR 5003 with a Sony STR - DN 5010 receiver. The Marantz packed up within four years due to "corrosion on all boards" according to the Marantz workshop. I opened it up and could find no signs of corrosion, only dust. I would like to know if my Sony would last...

    Correct. A sea snake moves forward up to your face.

    Best 3D blu-ray documentary?

    I also have Avatar 3D on my portable hard drive connected to my receiver's USB port. Unfortunately I cannot get the audio to play in English. Its all in German even though my projector and blu-ray's settings are set to English.

    Best 3D blu-ray documentary?

    I have one blu-ray disc, "Ocean Wonderland" where a sea snake appears to swim right up to your nose. I am unlikely to want to watch a movie more than once so would like to buy a few more documentary type discs, not another undersea movie but possibly a space documentary? "Hubble" seems to be a...
