Intermittent noise from HDR-2000T

[Anonymous]

Thanks for such a comprehension reply Damian – it’s good to have some idea of what’s going on in the box when you’re a technical novice.

I think I’ve got used to the noise now and it is very low really; I certainly can’t hear it over the programme sound, only in the quiet parts. I have even come across one benefit – I’ve realised I can tell now whether it’s recording when in standby

I have just ordered a 2000T to act as a backup to my Freesat 1000s and will replace a much loved Panasonic DVDR which is showing signs of age. I won’t be putting the 2000T on my home network as I just want/need an extra recording option. I have already downloaded the loopthrough update file in readiness.

Hi

I deserve my place on this forum because Ive had an 8000T 40gb for countless years still in mint condition It will be getting a custom job as I have 160GB Seagate hardrive from a 9200

I have a new HDR 2000T and I cant see that the hard drive twitterinng every 6 seconds is within acceptable design parameters for this unit.

I know what the hard drive is doing but I feel its obtrusive when the telly in on low and I can even hear it during quiet passages when Ive got my PX100 headphones on.

I think Im going to contact Humax and start a new thread here.

Can anyone tell me please if the hard drive can be swapped for a better unit?

In my mind a hard drive shouldnt be making this kind of noise for this application. Its like the sort of noise a game console disc reader makes when reading heavy information.

I dont feel its acceptable on pvr. Its a shame because otherwise the picture, features and sound are lovely.

Im technically minded but may have to return this. I dont want to return it but surely this noise isnt right.
