MVP output signal
Does anyone know if there is anything non-standard about the video output of the MVP?
My TV only has 2 inputs, coaxial and composite. When I connect the MVP to the composite and switch to that input the TV leaves a menu onscreen indefinately. Any other source such as my xbox and the TV closes the menu after a few sec. If nothing is connected than the menu stays onscreen the same as when the MVP is connected so I am wondering if the TV isn't sensing something from the MVP video signal to let it know there is a source connected. |

Sorry I don't have the answer but I experienced the same thing. Out of 2 (SD) Zenith TVs the "newer" one had the menu issue you describe. Luckily that one had to be replaceed
![]() I seem to remember reading that Hauppage has some config tools that may be able to change the video output level (I am not certain where I read that though). I really wish I could help. |

Interesting, my TV is also a Zenith. I am unable to find any way to disable the menu but with other devices the menu goes away after a few seconds so maybe it's a combination of the TV and the MVP?
I'll look for the config tools. Maybe its possible to increase the output level so that the TV is able to recognize that its being sent a signal. |

Maybe its somehow related to the problem discussed here. The MVP seems to send to weak a signal resulting in a darker image. Perhaps it is too weak for your TV and thus the TV doesn't think that anything is plugged in. If this is the case you may be out of luck using the MVP.

I also have a Zenith. The menu would not go away. I ended up hokking up a VCR between the 2 and the menu is no longer an issue. I would of liked to use my DVD player but there is no input on in.
