In reply to previous questions, I can say that the loopthrough on my HDR-2000T recently purchased from Richer Sounds DOES work when in STANDBY. It does NOT work if the box is unplugged from the mains.
System details are as follows:
Software Version UKTFAC.1.00.07
Loader Version UKTFAC.1.02
System ID 80BC.7E10
Update Date 12 SEP 2013
MICOM Version 12.4
Mac Address 08:EB:74:7D:21:2A
Have you a menu option to change sby mode ? It won’t work with the power off (the loop amplifier requires power).
Are you sure?
Was your box perhaps in standby with a recording in progess or a timer due in t-15 minutes or less.

But I don’t see any fundamental reason why the loopthrough would require any power or any amplification. All it should require is a ferrite coupling, with a power loss of just 3db.

All such devices have a small amount of amplification, usually with a bit more gain than the insertion loss. There’s no way that a maker can possibly know how many items will be in the rf chain. Could easily be 5 or 6. A couple of Freeview Pvrs and a Sky box could easily be chained.

Please would you check via
MENU >> Settings >> System >> Power Management
On the menu for power management software 1.00.06 only had 1 option on that menu. Is there now a power saving option as well?

On the similar HDR-FOX T2 the default is for this to be off. If loop through has been added to 1.00.07 then it’s probably accessed via
MENU >> Settings >> System >> Power Management

That’s probably where it should be but unfortunately on this box, with this software version, there’s no option for a level of standby that would allow the signal to be passed through.

So my conclusion was faulty. Sorry about that.

Although the colour of the front panel lamp was certainly RED.Yeah, one of the things I’ve found confusing is that the LED seems to go red when recording and a very slightly different shade of red in standby.
Thanks for checking.
