Troubleshoot A Dazzle Fusion

The Dazzle Fusion works with most digital camcorders and cameras.


Pinnacle Systems designed the Dazzle Fusion as an all-in-one recording accessory for digital cameras and camcorders. The device connects to the camera or camcorder and helps store, edit and play photos and videos onto your computer or television. Occasional problems may arise related to the Dazzle Fusion's hardware or software. Troubleshoot it to resolve potential underlying problems and get back to capturing your favorite memories.


Instructions


1. Check that the Dazzle Fusion is connected to a reliable power source if none of its lights is illuminated. Connect the device directly to an electrical outlet using the included AC power cord as using an extension cable may create unreliable voltage that can make the Fusion turn on and off unexpectedly. Its power connector port is located on the back panel.


2. Verify that the Dazzle Fusion is connected to your TV or computer if no images display on the respective devices. For televisions, the Dazzle Fusion must be attached with its RCA cable. Insert each of the RCA cable's color-coordinated plugs into the device and the TV for proper image and audio streaming (e.g., the red jack should plug into the Dazzle Fusion's red port). If you're using a computer, verify that the device's USB cable is securely plugged into the bottom of the device and your computer.


3. Verify that you have installed the Dazzle Fusion's three recording applications if you are trying to edit or burn DVDs. All of its applications come included on its installation disk and require Windows 98 SE or higher, 128MB of free memory, 150MB of free hard disk space and a 500Mhz computer processor.


4. Inspect the digital media card you're using in the Dazzle Fusion if you're getting recording or reading errors or problems with insufficient storage space. The Fusion accepts Secure Digital, CompactFlash, SSFDC Smart Media and MultiMedia cards. Using any other type of memory card will create data problems.


5. Contact Pinnacle Systems' technical help desk at 650-267-5196 if you still cannot get your Dazzle Fusion to function properly. Technicians are available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST.
