Doug, the video line must be terminated with 75 ohms. Most monitors are terminated internally, but check the back of yours for a switch. If the video input is "looped-thru" (i.e. two inputs tied together) then you may have to supply the 75 ohms with a terminating plug from an electronics store (but this isn't likely unless you have a professional montior). By all means try it on another monitor. The video off the DIN plug is separate from the composite output, but uses the same circuit design. If you suspect the composite driver circuit you can try the DIN plug, but it isn't likely to be the problem. Good luck! —Mike
