Post by lusy »

I have the problem with my V8 Super. When I select Menu on the remote control, the symbol "- - - -" appears on the display, but the TV screnn is black and also the receiver freeze and i have to load the system again with disconnect the power charger.
The procedure written in the PDF does not work, the receiver does not start from USB, but starts normally.

Pls can you help me?

To boot from the boot with the USB you must press the Remote Control key MENU the firmware on the USB should be called flash.bin

It maybe the TV resolution. PAL NTSC.
Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
we try to support some old TV or some signal mode TV
Press menu key to main menu.(Panel show "----")
press Green key to switch NTSC/PAL, the panel will show "PAL " or "NTSC"
Press Stop key to switch the video format
PAL mode : the panel will show "576I" -- "576P" -- "720P"(50HZ) --"1080I"(50HZ) --"1080P"(50HZ)
NTSC mode : the panel will show "480I" -- "480P" -- "720P"(60HZ) --"1080I"(60HZ) --"1080P"(60HZ)

As I already wrote, this does not work. It starts from memory in receiver, not from USB. Any other idea? Thanks

As you said the unit freezes You my have a software crash.

Do a forced recovery.

Note this will remove all user data from the unit, softcam CCam channel list etc.

Reading your first post, I think your TV does not do both NTSC and PAL.

As the green button thing does not work on this older unit, you may need to put your super on a TV that does both NTSC and PAL and set the menu option for AV settings output.
