I hooked up the receiver to a CD player for the NBTV version of playback for their science fair kit. It's a 32 line file trying to reproduce on a 24 line receiver. I did get the garbled information I thought I would get. The files are of moving heads and in motion. Light and dark are there and they change.

It now looks like the receiver is trying to work. No dark lines so no disc cleaning needed. Pic below.

Something is happening between the camera and receiver. My test card A test is next to see if it works on rld's receiver.

Tom...there is no built in sync at all. Manual sync is done by the left knob which is a contrast control at full speed to match the camera. There is a detent at the bottom that bumps the speed down a bit to manually try to match the camera motor speed and center the image. Tap the detent for a moment and come back full to try sync. The right control is for LED brightness and full power off. You watch and bump the left control to try to chase the camera. That is sync.

rld...got your pm with your email. Thanks and we can continue with files. I doubt that anything mechanically changed since we built our units to get to this degree of problems. I will still post here for others.

I am amazed that there are only two of us chasing this solution. I welcome any insights and inputs.
