No worries, it is completely normal.

Was a thread on here about it recently.

Mine does the same but the voltage it claims varies.

Thanks, Mine varied a little to but within half a volt of 9v, in my box it said I got an early release so now I have to sit down and work out how to flash the board and screen with new firmware. thanks again, doug

Here is the link to the firmware info:

It is really quite easy but I am not sure what is the latest and greatest release firmware version?

Good Luck with it.

We need to make this part of the manual in BOLD. Maybe have a screen pop in the LCD that says  "There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind...."

Maybe a section titled "10 things you need to know before you flip any switches. Trust us ..."
