Troubleshooting
If the Vooni Video Grabber's software seizes up, the
system can be reset by inserting a pin or similar object
into the small hole found on the back of the device.
If the screen remains black in spite you having pressed
the On/Off Menu button for a protracted period, the
battery may be dead. Connect the charger and try again.
If you do not succeed in recording video material to your
Vooni Video Grabber, the cables may be incorrectly
connected or be connect too loosely.
When using the RCA - SCART adapter (3), make sure
that the slider switch on the adapter is the OUT position
while recording and in the IN position when playing it
back on the TV.
