Dennis, a hugh pitch noise is indicative of a bad capacitive circuit. It could be something as simple as a power supply problem. You could have a local electronic repairman check the power supply. Remember to backup any videos and delete them and clear settings or passwords you want to protect.{Remember: I'm not responsible for your actions}

I have same problem and sick and tied of this microphone. It is not worth a penny to spend for it. Very much frustrated and I do not know what to do.

I think Larry is spot on. If you have another HDMI handy, swap that in there. if it still persists, return it for another converter box.

With my setup, there's roughly a .3 second delay between the actual feed and what comes out of the Colossus. I use the HDMI-in on the capture card coming from my Directv HD-DVR box.

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you.Sincerely: Ray R.

Try unplug and plug the unit back into your machine , Try using a different USB cable, the OS this supports are windows me/2000/xp/2003/vista, Mac OS 10.4. You may need to install the driver for this DVR.

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

I have the same problem. I actually have gotten to the point of powering off the unit (after I finally get it to record)

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

Jennifer D.: In case you still have this problem, below are the steps of a workaround that worked for me, and hopefully will work for you too. It appears that the key step is to temporarily configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. I found this after trying to debug a similar very frustrating problem with my Toshiba DR430 DVD recorder and Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. 1. Disconnect the HDMI cable from the DVR to the TV. (Note that the only way my Scientific Atlanta DVR would enter the standard-definition setup wizard in step 2 below was with this cable disconnected. Originally, I did not disconnect this cable, and I suspect that as long as the DVR thought it was outputting a picture to an HDTV that it would override other configuration settings that I made.) 2. Configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. (As per the user manual for my Scientific Atlanta DVR, start this process by simultaneously pressing the "INFO" and "GUIDE" buttons on the DVR while it is turned off. This was pretty easy to change and then undo later.) 3. In the DVR "Settings," set the "Picture Size" option to "Auto Fit." (It is also possible to quickly set this by repeatedly pressing the "#" key on the remote control.) 4. At this point, the aspect ratio in the DVD recorder was FINALLY correct and there were no bordering black bars. Hurray! Record shows onto DVDs as desired. 5. When I play a recorded DVD on the Toshiba unit the aspect ratio is correct and there are no bordering black bars. However, when I play a DVD on my Panasonic Blu-ray player, I have to set the aspect ratio on my Panasonic TC-P50VT20 Plasma HDTV to "JUST" to horizontally stretch the picture, but this is a very simple adjustment that is easy to change. Hopefully you can perform similar steps to workaround this annoying problem. Ron

Yeh, I bought mine 10/15/08 and had the same problem.It turned out to be a ground loop between my Receiver and my Samsung TV.I put a two-prong "cheater" on the Samsung power plug and that fixed it.Not the best way, but the hum is gone.

it is not a bad unit, it just your tv resolution is not match to the dvr's display resolution. you need to connect the dvr to a VGA monitor then change the display resolution of the dvr that is match to your tv.

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.

I believe I've found the cause/answer for ME at least. I have my HD DVR on a shelf enclosed with a glass window. I think it's an issue with the DVR once it gets overheated. I've since cracked open the glass door and haven't seen it happen since...

Hello, it sounds like the unit has accidentally been set with the "Screen Saver" mode on. TO FIX:- With the unit on, but not recording, click on the MENU button two times (you should see the little wrench highlighted at the top)- Use the down arrow button to go down until you see "Screen Saver", click on the "RECORD" button to select Screen Saver.- Use the up or down arrows to go to the "OFF" selection and click on the "RECORD" button. (this is where it may have previously been set to 3 minutes)- Now click on the MENU button again to exit.The screen should no longer shut off while recording and with power.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

I'm having this exact same issue with my TCL 40". If anyone has any ideas on how to to fix this besides buying speakers, it would be appreciated.

Your source is doing that. Try plugging it in a different device. Hiss gone, guaranteed. (Late answer, but might help future inquirers).
