Due to the fact that the forum thinks I may be a spambot, my PM's are disabled. Would you do me the honors of PM'ing them for me? Thx. Oh, btw, some more information. The test signal doesn't start automatically. During initial startup the screen is black, and you see the LED lights scan from 1 to 9. I notice that the test signal always comes on around the time the seventh camera LED is on. Whether it's related to that I can't be sure but CAM 7 seems to operate fine. p.s. I reset the system twice, and just to be sure that I did it right, I put a paper clip into the hole to the right of the usb port on the back during startup, and waited until all the lights on the front flashed a total of five times.

Hi there and thank you for reading my post. I am not directly in the field of CCTV (rather TV Aerial and Sky installation) but a client of mine rang me to see if I could fix his DVR machine named above. Basically he has nine camera inputs, all supposedly working fine. The problem is... the TV output is constantly showing the vertical bar test signal (eight different coloured vertical bars) and no matter what I have tried (including a factory reset) it will not disappear. TV and cable to DVR is fine. I can even connect the TV to one of the Spot outputs and it displays perfectly. My guess is software or a "TEST SIGNAL" switch is on and I simply can't find it, but believe me, I've looked!! I hope you can help me in this matter. Thanking you
