Can’t Remote:

 Verify that the 

  icon (ComproRemote) is in the system 

tray on the lower-right corner of the screen. If you don't have it on the 
system tray, start the following program manually: 

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VideoMate\ComproRemote.exe 

Then you should see the icon on the system tray. The IR icon should turn 
brighter when you press buttons on the remote. If you see no response, 
your IR drivers may not be not properly installed. Please remove 
ComproPVR using "Add/Remove programs" in the Control Panel and 
reinstall it.   

7. 

Can’t record:

 ComproPVR needs to use components of Ulead 

PhotoExplore 8 SE on the installation CD. If your computer doesn’t have 
PhotoExplore, ComproPVR will fail to record. Please install Ulead 
PhotoExplore 8 SE. 

8. 

No sound on the recorded file:

 Please see above “Video OK / No Audio.” 

on the number 5.   

9. 

The recorded file from VCR has no audio: 

Please plug VCR Composite 

cable (yellow) into TV card 
yellow connector. Composite 
Audio needs to connect to the 
Audio-In port of TV card. You 
have to buy a converter (see 
below) to transfer Composite 
Audio cable (red one and white 
one) into stereo. 

10. 

Playback lags:

 VideoMate Action needs CPU resources to do the 

encoding. Therefore, the lags come when CPU fails to encode in real time. 
Usually, VCD quality needs about 1GHz CPU for recording while DVD 
quality needs about 2.4G CPU for recording. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to check 
your CPU usage. If it reaches 100%, then the lag is inevitable. 

11. 

No MPEG 4 format for recording:

 If you would like to record video in 

MPEG-4 format, you must supply your own MPEG-4 CODEC. Furthermore, 
the CODEC must be installed before using ComproPVR. In general, you 
can download MPEG-4 CODEC from the following web sites. 
http://www.divx.com  After you install the CODEC software, you will see 
the MPEG-4 format appear in the field of recording quality. 

Note 

Compro does not guarantee compatibility or performance with third-party 
CODECs. Please try using Ulead MP3 Encoder for audio and DivX codec 
directly from www.divx.com
