3.8 LOOPING OUTPUT TERMINATION 
  When terminating the outputs becomes necessary, the DVR unit has built-in 
termination that allows you to select individual outputs to be terminated. Generally it is 
not necessary to terminate the output when using it. It is dependant on if the device to 
which you are connecting it, has internal 75 ohm termination. As a rule, if the image 
appears distorted or virtually un-viewable, it most likely needs to be terminated.
