Humax DRT800 DVD Recorder w/ 80 hr Tivo Questions & Answers
Humax DRT800 DVR recorder has no sound
Loss of sound is often a problem with the SCART connections. The SCART may not be pushed in securely, or if the SCART is old the pins may not be good. Check SCART is securely in, or try another SCART lead.
Recording onto DVD
That's because the DVD+R and DVD-R discs are actually different, and the recorder is made to record only on the +R media. It will play back discs recorded by other units on -R discs. But you'll need to purchase the +R type. They are the same price.

Humax Tivo will not record to DVD
After the update to 1.15 I had to delete EVERY recording on the unit. After that, any new recordings would burn just fine. However, some have found that same failure even after a hard reboot (repower). Called Humax level-1 support and they suggested a replacement unit so I swapped it out. But I've since learned that TiVo "pushes" a DVD firmware patch (possible supplied by Humax) from 1.08 to 1.15 and that patch is the culprit. That patch is suppose to make the DVD burn at a higher spin rate. After talking with level-2 Humax support they heard of the problem and said "the unit is working as designed", meaning, the DVD drive manufacturer specs say the drive is capable of a faster burn rate. So now I have Humax DTR800 #2 and so-far-so-good, but TiVo hasn't pushed the patch onto the box yet!
Humax 5000t does not find HD channels when scanning
If your Humax 5000t is not finding HD channels during scanning, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Check signal strength: HD channels may require a stronger signal compared to standard-definition channels. Make sure your antenna or cable connection is secure and properly aligned. You can also try repositioning the antenna or cable to improve the signal strength.
- Perform a full rescan: Sometimes, a full rescan can help resolve channel detection issues. Go to the settings or menu of your Humax 5000t and find the option to perform a full rescan or channel search. This process may take some time, so be patient and allow it to complete.
- Update the firmware: Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues and affect channel scanning. Check if there is a firmware update available for your Humax 5000t. Refer to the manufacturer's website or user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware. Follow the recommended steps carefully to avoid any potential issues.
- Verify broadcast standards: Ensure that your Humax 5000t is compatible with the broadcast standards used in your region. Different countries and regions may use different broadcast standards for HD channels. Check the specifications of your Humax device and confirm that it supports the specific HD broadcast standard used in your area.
- Reset to factory settings: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Humax 5000t to factory settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all your saved settings and recordings, so make sure to back up any important data beforehand. Look for the reset option in the settings menu of your device and follow the on-screen instructions.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's advisable to contact Humax customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting guidance based on your model and help you resolve the problem with HD channel detection.

" I have tried all suggestions in your manual "
Not OUR manual, we are Fixya dot com, we are nothing to do with Humax, we are not who you think we are.
First, fully disconnect all devices from mains power for 15 minutes, router, television and the Humax Box. Plug in the router first, then the Humax and finally the television. It will take about 15 minutes for them all to come back online after the reset and all recognise each other. This is called a 'Power Cycle' and reloads all the software and connections. Then try again.
If that doesn't fix it, you can fully Factory Reset the Humax unit, or you can just go into Settings and put the router settings back in SSID and Password.
