This review is from: Lorex 8 Channel Triplex Surveillance DVR with 250GB Hard Drive, Integrated DVD-RW & Internet Remote Accessibility (Electronics)

LOTS OF NICE FEATURES BUT DON'T TRY CONNECTING A VGA MONITOR TO THIS DVR IF LATER IN THE FUTURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE THE TV VIDEO OUTLETS. THIS WILL RENDER THE COMPOSITE OUTLETS USELESS AND TO NEVER WORK AGAIN! I'VE TRY RESETING AND REMOVING THE INTERNAL BATTERY TO TRY TO GET THIS DVR BACK TO ORIGINAL STATE, TO NO AVAIL. IF YOU START OUT USING THE TV OUTLETS AND NEVER CONNECT A VGA MONITOR TO THE UNIT, YOU PROBABLY WOULD NEVER KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO OF THESE CVR'S. LOREX TECHINCAL SUPPORT CAN'T HELP, BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM OR WON'T FESS UP TO IT.
