Let's see... Fire up *ONE* camera (unplug any others you have) and the
receiver with them literally side-by-side. Any change in on-screen stuff
when camera is unplugged/plugged in? If not, there are two posibilities:
Cable issues, or camera/receiver/both dead. Getting raster instead of
noise suggests that the receiver is OK.

Do you have RCA inputs on the TV? If so, try those instead of the co-ax,
and tune the TV to take its signal from there. 3/4 on the VR31 doesn't
matter with the RCA outputs - It only counts for the co-ax hookup.

Work with one camera at a time - Disconnect all but one. Multiple
cameras "powered up at the same time on the same cam/receiver channel
will "fight" each other, and in some cases (location/distance dependent)
can scramble and/or cancel out each other's signal, leaving the receiver
effectively getting nothing to pass along to the TV.

Don,
Thanks for the pointers. Only one camera, one receiver in the house. I've got
the receiver and camera on the desk about 2 ft apart. Tried both RF and
baseband video connections, neither better than the other. Neither sound nor
video are received; raster only. Disassembled the camera, but no obvious
cause evident. Wall wart output voltage is correct.

I am going on the assumption that the camera is bad, but it may be something
in the receiver, as well. I'll have to find someone who has this setup (are
you close to N. California?) so as to do module-swapping.

Thanks again for your help,
