UPDATE Please read in conjunction with my posting below.
Hi all; I don't post here very often because I don't buy TV's or stuff very often. However, a couple of years ago I bought a new Sony Integrated TV (Sony KD28DL10U) and reported a banding problem Sony at first denied problems then agreed there was a problem with early versions and issued a fix which their engineers then came round and did free of charge.
This week I just took delivery of the new HXD710 DVD recorder as I'd been waiting for these to come out with an integrated Freeview tuner. So plugged it in, set it up (today) and off we go. Initial reaction fairly positive until I notice that when in RGB output mode there are some faint vertical lines (and an echo of the channel title name or so it seems) running left to right across the tv. Tried all the usual such as changing the scart lead but it is definitely there whenever the tv is being fed the rgb signal. I tried the video output and it doesn't seem to be there. However, the picture is nowhere near as good. Any one else got this? If you have one and want to check: set the scart output to rgb and make sure it is into an rgb input on the tv then tune to blank channel on the video and look carefully at the screen. Is this dejavu (i.e. an inherent problem) or just me being unlucky or even me doing something very stupid? I'd like to hear from anyone else who has one. I'll keep you posted when I've got a replacement.
