Does yours lock up when you do this? Manufacturing defect (mine only)?

It locks you onto the channel when recording (Pause TV is a recording mode) because like most recorders, it does not have two channel tuners. You can switch back and forth between your TV tuner and Recorder tuner by running the RF Out of the Recorder to the TV's RF input, then use the Input select of your TV to select either the Recorder's input to the TV (from one of the Composite RCA or Component outputs of the recorder) or TV (RF coax output from the recorder. This works because the RF Output from the recorder is merely a pass-thru of it's RF Input, like a cable splitter).

Mine has never done that. I would wonder if there was something mechanically wrong with it.

Yes, it does the same on mine. I'm assuming it's not a defect. It has had no effect on operation.

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

Just turn it and kind of shake/jiggle it off. I had the same problem the first time I unlocked mine.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

I hit the reset button with a paper clip and all was good. I have done it a couple times when it locks up. otherwise its been good.

No, if you pull the handle to the out position, it should lock in place until you push the button to release it! If this is happening, I would send it back for a replacement.

No, no problems with the two I own. I love them. Perhaps you received a defective one...sorry this has happened to you.
