Mini 2CH 2 CH SD DVR - recordings are way too dark

[LektroSmog]

Hi

I have this DVR
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-2CH-2-C...item4d03b28000

Problem is, the recordings look way too dark (screenshot from video):


looking at the OSD text, it should be white, but its grey.

I have tried various configs for recording, all show the dark picture
- connected a dvd player direcly to recorder
- connected via video splitter/amplifier, various settings for gain
- connected to vrx, recording fpv cam.

On the my groundstation lcd the picture seems much brighter. also on the goggles and on a tv. I dont have any other way to record at the moment.

Any ideas? (other than gettin a japan-dvr)

I have that same unit and I have noticed its playback looks a little darker than when the SD card is played from my PC. Try viewing it on a PC and see if it looks a little better. Make sure your recording settings on the menu are set to high resolution. I post some of my recording for you to compare....working on one now.
