I'm using the sony dream system (dav-fr10w). I just want to use it to watch cable tv, but it keeps switching over to the dvd function after 30 seconds or so. It's really irritating. i had a dvd get stuck in their. I took it apart and got the dvd out, put it back together and now it just keeps blinking "Please Wait." Do i have to get a new receiver? If so, is there one that is compatible that would allow me to use the Wireless IR? sorry about all the questions.

R U getting 'feedback'?i.e. if the speakers on the TV and your external speakers are pushing the same 'sound' towards each other there could be feedback.

It's unclear where the sound is emanating or where it is lost in this scenario or even the type of connection you're using to carry it.

It almost sounds like you're using the TV for sound or it's in the audio path. The sound from any high end source should be processed by the SONY DAV as close to its original device as possible and not unnecessarily patched through the TV.

The TV only NEEDS Video. High-end Audio is wasted on it.

The symptom sounds suspiciously like a loss of data from the source to the Sony DAV.

Please clarify or establish that this does or does not happen without using the remote. Sometimes remote commands are heeded by unintended devices. Try to Pause/Play sequence using front panel buttons on the unidentified Samsung BluRay to eliminate that possibility.

Observe the indicators on the Sony for any clues when the problem occurs.

First thing to check is the simple solution. Make sure you have the positive and negative hooked up correctly and also make sure that the wire ends are bared enough and that you have good clean contact in the snap terminal.

Check your connections. Chances are you may have crossed the RED video cable and the RED audio cable.

Hi,
To cancel Progressive scan output or to change output to interlace signal format, follow these steps..

1- Select DVD by pressing Function button on unit.
2- While holding down |<< (review) button, press Function button on unit.

This will change output signal to interlace/ composite video output from yellow pin/ S-Video.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.

1. Press FUNCTION repetedly until "DVD" appears in the front panel display.
2. While holding down rewind botton, press FUNCTION.
The output signal is changed to interlace format.

Connect RCA Red-White audio cable to INPUT of DAV-HDX500 and hook it to TV AUDIO OUT pins at back of TV.
Now select INPUT in DAV-HDX500 to get TV sound in Sony system speakers.

Solution is to buy Sony original remote for DAV-FR10W system from Sony Accessories Store under following part number..
147869811 RM-SP350 REMOTE CONTROL

I have the same system, except for the TV, I have a project (that part doesn't matter).

From your Sat. go straight to your AV receiver
Again from you Sat. (all of the AV outputs are all live), go out from either 1 or 2 and go to your recorder Line 1 in.
From you AV receiver go to your TV.

All you have to do is hit record and you will record whichever channel you are on. I am having difficulty getting it set up as a PVR, but will figure it out sooner or later.

Hope this helped.
