Hi
Got a Vestel (Hitachi branded) PVR, current Argos model. It is connected to an EX503 Sony (so last year's model) via SCART. All has been well for half a year or so but just recently what happens is:
1) switch on the PVR. Time comes up, display stable; then
2) switch on the TV. PVR display now flickers/flashes. I would say it dims for maybe 1/4 second then comes back to full brightness for 1 second, then back again. And so on for probably 3-5 minutes, after which the PVR display settles.
On a related point, the PVR remote control jockey buttons stopped working around the same time. Tried an identical looking remote from a different, late 2010, Vestel (Bush) and this works fine with the Hitachi PVR.
Have checked to make sure all cables are secure and they seem to be.
Both PVR and TV are powered off a Belkin surge protector strip.
Any ideas please?
