Sony RDR-GX3 DVD Recorder - No picture
mhaffy
21-04-2012
I have owned this DVD recorder for several years and not experienced any problems. My lead set up has always been scart from my Sky+ box to Line 3 decoder of DVDplayer and scart from Line 1 TV of DVd player to my TV.
When I went to use it this morning, for first time in a while, I could hear audio from DVD but no picture. The funny thing is that I still get picture, and sound, for Sky routed through the DVD player. Thus would not seem to be cable. I also tried other cables direct from dvd player to exisiting tv and to our kitchen TV - all with same result of sound but no picture.
Not sure what else to try or what problem might be. Obviously want to avoid expense of new DVd recorder if possible.
Advice/solutions would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Try switching off and unplugging your DVD recorder, leave for a few minutes, switch back on again, and then see if the problem persists, or try making sure that the Scart leads have not worked loose.

Will switch off and unplug overnight. Tried unplugging earlier and problem still persists. Maybe longer unplgged will do the trick. Do not believe problem is scart lead related as still get perfect picture from sky box that routes to tv via DVD recorder. Fingers crossed.

Just tried again, having unplugged overnight, and still sound only when playing DVD. Can still watch Sky, that routes through DVD recorder, perfectly. Bizarre and frustrating.
