Will the picture show on a tv in stand by mode or must it be in playback or record?

It has to be in playback mode. Mind you this camera is really horrible quality. I don't usually bash things I buy but this thing was crap. Even my niece who doesnt know much about this stuff thought it was horrible. FYI

depends on mode of the display unit. If in multi-camera mode then yes will record all. However audio is only captured when in single camera mode.

The can be viewed in real time via a monitor or television, if you run audio, it can only be heard in playback (or at least as far as I can tell)

For pictures it will only show already taken photo's in other words you cannot frame your shot on the tv screen and then take the picture. Video, on the other hand, will display live on the TV screen.

There is a button on the remote control (bottom right if I recall correctly) that switches like picture-in-picture on a tv. Default is pip with the rear camera in the small frame.

yes you will prbably need a stand alone video recorder/ captrure deviceThese are hard to find sometimes and you really have to read the reviews to find the right one that works. Amazon does have a selection of them. Here is one of them Sabrent Stand Alone TV Tuner Box with Picture in Picture for TV/CRT/TFT and Plasma Monitor/Projectors (NTSC) ANALOG Only (TV-LCDHR) Also if you also have a computer connected, tv tunner cards fit the bill nicely

it records standing up and laying down, the image is replayed standing up if vertical and sideways if laying down. very good quality recording if the lighting is good.

I may be wrong but I believe the picture in picture functionality is something that only your television would provide you. I've had this device for like 3 years and I've never used that kind of functionality with it

Yes. There is an option to not show any on-screen graphics (Rec, audio levels etc) via HDMI out. Though, if you do go into the menu, it does show up on screen.

You need video capture software, such as Pinnace Studio (I think they are in ver. 17 now). You might also need a usb tv tuner. A tuner might come with video capture software.

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

you need some kind of outside device. It doesnt record its just plug in, turn on the tv and you have live feed.

The receiver records activity from the camera on a SD Card for purpose of review or saving data. Your existing TV may be used as a monitor. The monitor is live and has nothing to do with recording. This particular system is amazing. I would def recommend the DVD system.

Not sure if I understand the first question, if you mean can anyone notice it...no, not as long as it's it the box. It has a great picture day or night. Yes, the TV you connect it to has to be turned on to see what the camera's pointed to! You could connect it to some kind of recorder to watch it later. The TV wouldn't have to be on for this.

Hi Amazonadicto, video output will be from the HDMI connection. Which means that you can connect it on a TV with HDMI, and can create a live view on the TV while doing a recording. -Ely

You can find the users manual for this device at www.magnavox.com/support. Look at page 8 for your answer. The tuner will allow you to view High Definition (HD) on your TV. All recording to the hard drive (HDD) or a DVD is converted to standard definition. So, if you are watching live TV, it can be viewed in HD. If you want to playback a recorded show to your TV from the hard drive (HDD) or a DVD, the image seen on the TV will be in standard definition.
