Graham thanks for the response. It worked.

I have to say I am underwhelmed by what is my first purchase of a Humax product. A simple trawl through this forum shows a multitude of similar problems related to their remote’s. Having purchased multiple items over the years from the likes of Sony, Samsung and Sanyo etc it has been demonstrated to me that it is perfectly possible to manufacture a totally reliable remote unit. Interestingly I also noticed several people complaining of no sound when taking the HDR2000T out of standby, which is fixed by cycling power on the unit. A fellow poster put this down to HDMI handshaking issues. This is something I also experience every few weeks.

I bought the unit based on the strength of very good online reviews which it seems were written at the time of the products launch. Based on my experience of 6 months as a user I don’t think I would buy Humax again, being someone who prizes reliability as much as functionality.
