Hi,
I have a 4yr old Panasonic DMR-EH60 DVD recorder (non HDMI), and a new Panasonic BD65 blu-ray player. The DVD is connected to the TV via SCART, and the Blu-ray connected via HDMI.
My problem is that when I use the DVD remote control to switch on the DVD player, the blu-ray player switches on as well. When the DVD player is switched on, the TV shows the picture for the channel that the DVD is tuned to, but only for a second or two. After this short period, the TV picture disappears to be replaced by the Blu-ray player's "HOME blue screen" and onscreen menu.
It appears that the blu-ray player is kicking in and overriding the DVD recorder. Is there a way I can stop this happening?
Another irritation is that when I press the "Drawer Open" button on the blu-ray remote, the drawer for the DVD recorder opens as well.
Also, with the blu-ray player switched off, when I press the Direct Navigator button on the DVD (to open the screen which lists the recordings), the blu-ray player switches on and the problem above happens! What's that all about!
I am really puzzled by all this as the DVD player is old and only has Q-link technology. The blue ray does have the latest all-singing Viera link technology. Compatibility between audio-visual products is normally great, but this is driving me mad.
Can anyone rescue me from this remote control madness?
