line

Video is noisy, rolling,  dark or shows excessive ghosting when deployed (note: some out-of water video distortion is normal due to LBV’s proximity to SPS).

Failure #1 Video circuit not optimally tuned.
Cause #1

RF Modulator VR-1 (the adjustable resistor found at the center, atop the RF Modulator board) is not correctly adjusted.

Fault Isolation #1 While observing video image, adjust potentiometer until optimal image is obtained.
Cause #2

Fault Isolation #3 In the ‘Setup/Display Type’ menu, select proper format i.e., ‘NTSC/PAL M/N, or PAL I’, etc.
Cause #4
