New HD TV seems to override Panasonic DMR-EH55S's DVD recorder's tuner

[Marshfish]

Hello all,

I have a question I hope you can help me with. Last month, I purchased the Sony 32 inch XBR9 HDTV set. I also own a Panasonic DMR-EH55S DVD Recorder. For some reason the Sony XBR9 tuner is overriding the Panasonic DVD recorder's tuner.

Meaning, I have the DVD recorder connected with an HDMI cable, and the TV's tuner comes on in the Component 1 setting.

I'll have the video recorder's timer set (time shifted)to record say channel 7. And, I'll be watching ,for example, channel 9 on the Sony TV at the same time. When the DVD recording begins, it doesn't record the channel it was set for, channel 7. Instead, it records channel 9 or whatever the XBR9's tuner's on. I didn't have this problem when the recorder was connected to the old (RCA) TV.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the IR blaster is causing this, as I can still use the recorder's tuner to change channels with it. It's just once the DVD recorder starts, it's not recording the right channel.

Any helpful hints? Please let me know, or send a PM.

Thanks,
Marshall

P.S.This happens whether I'm using Component 1 or HDMI

Call Panasonic if it's a big problem they will make a firmware fix.
