EOD MAC 0 Posted September 23, 2010 I'm tossing out my VCR(not quite yet, but stowing it away for later) and upgrading to a DVR standalone. I currently have a GVI CMP163R, which was attached to my old VCR. I was able to set it up, but I'm not able to get the multiplexer to play back or go into playback . I have 2 outputs on the DVR, with 8 video in channels, 1 of which the multiplexer is running into. I know how I'm supposed to set up, but i keep getting like a fuzzy almost no picture when I set it up in a the same way I had the VCR set up. I can also set up in a way that i can record and watch the playback, but i'm not able to pull up a single shot, just the multiplexer itself, showing all 16 shots together. Any advice on a way to fix what I have currently would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to the possibility of running this into a computer if that will simplify things.

SEANHAWG 1 Posted September 26, 2010 How many cameras do you have in your system? If its 8 or less, then why not just take the GV-CMP163R out of the equation? Whenever you had it hooked up to your old VCR, did you have the multiplexers VCR settings set at "User Define"? If not, you should. Also, when you are playing your recordings back, do you have your multiplexer set at "playback mode"? It is the little button that is second to the left that looks like a tape. You have to push this button before you start viewing playback. We carry this particular mode. I sent you a PM to our instructional site on how to get these things hooked up, they can be kind of tricky sometimes if you miss a small step. It may be a little tricky to get this to work with you DVR but it should work if done correctly I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
