Muting on I just bought this Sony DAV-HDX285 and my problem is that 'muting on' keeps turning about every 30 seconds.

our unit is flashing muting on also and i can't get any sound out of my ipod. i have had it working so i know the set up is correct, so i am assuming it is related to this muting on situation.

Thanks GR. Had this system for 6 months and never figured out the problem. Works as it should now

I will try this when I get home (I'm almost 100% positive that it will work :-)). I'm seeing the same problem in my blueray home theatre system. Thanks for sharing the resolution.

I have had this problem, on occasion. With mine I have just held on button for a couple of long seconds and then wait for another couple of long seconds and it comes on. Sometimes if I get impatient I push the on button repeatedly and nothing happens. That's not nearly as aggravating as having the sound only work when it wants to.

Adrian, I also have the Fiji FinePix HS10 which I settled on after using the Sony H50 and the Nikon P100. When sounds are unwelcome it's possible to silence the camera completely by pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button for a few seconds or selecting Silent Mode ON in the setup menu. And in situations where the single frame delay means you're likely to miss what you want you can use the Continuous Shooting mode which offers numerous frame choices in both RAW or RAW+JPG. Very useful I've found. I love this camera. But I've also discovered the Sony HX5 which is pretty incredible.

I don't know but what I do know is the HDMI input that connects to my DirectV box quit working two days ago. I initially assumed it was a DirectV problem but ultimately determined the problem was with the 4 month old Denon AVR-E200. So to have it repaired I have to ship it to them. This is my first and last Denon product. I have had several Sony's over the last 15 years and never a technical problem.

Nop, it always starts with QUIET LEVEL whenever you turn it on even last time you turn it off and left it with HIGH LEVEL

I've faced the sound level went to silent. Once I've switched off and on again, working fine.the issue was when I use the HDMI.

did you flip the adjustment switch on the bottom or check to see if you muted the sound. I have not tried the device on my computer but I use it on my tv. hope this helps

Update, I just tried it while playing the ps3 and muted it and there was definitely the same noise. Maybe a bad PSU? Any input would be very appreciated.

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

I like these headphones a lot except at certain periods for days at a time they will go off every 3 minutes. I have to turn my TV off and back on generally 2-3 times and then they will come back on. I have tired everything I know. Unplugg them for several minutes. Then some of the time they work fine and I have no problem. I have ask the store I purchased them form and many other people and no one can tell me what might be causing the problem. My husband and I both have our own TV on either side of our bed. He wears headphones and I wear these. There seems to be no corelation between him having his on or off. Can anyone help me.

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

Mine is still clicking right when the new channel comes on, I have to turn the mute button on or it drives me batty, I have sensitive ears.

I don't think you can turn off the voice. I only hear it when it starts recording. Twice, on and start. Then once when it stops. If you hear it every two minutes than something is wrong. Mine does not do that. Turn off motion sensor. Record at 740 not 1080. Good luck

Yes! Within the settings menu "tools" there is a mute selection. Either on or off for mute. Once mute is selected (on) there is absolutely no audible sound for camera operations.

I have not had the problem. Is there a mute button that might be the culprit?

First off, complain to Sony. If enough other people do, they might just make a firmware upgrade with a setting to turn this off. In the meantime, you could use a learning remote like the Harmony series for example to mute the sound before turning off the tv and unmute sound (a volume down keypress may be the surest way to do this) after turning on the tv. Alternately, you should be able to disable the internal speakers with one of the menu options or at least turn the volume down to zero and simply use external speakers. Even a cheap stereo CD player and radio may have more bass than tv speakers anyway. First off, complain to Sony.

I've only had mine for a couple days but despite trying my best to provoke them I've yet to trigger the auto mute with putting my hands on the cans. This could vary by head type but for me the only way I can get them to mute without taking them off is to press in on the cups with my hands. Can't speak to long term longevity but I might not have even know this feature existed if I hadn't read about it.ETA: Should have spent an extra minute looking at the things before writing this in the first place. The automute feature works by a little tether between the auto-adjusting headband and the left earcup (you should be able to just make it in the pictures).
