Navigating the Menus

This DVR comes with a USB mouse and also a remote control, and also has a full compliment of control
buttons on the front panel. So, basically, you have options!
Note: The USB mouse must be attached to the upper USB port!
The mouse functions just like any PC mouse for easy navigation of the menus. In a nutshell, the left mouse
button selects and confirms choices, the right mouse button will take you back towards the main menu.
Most users find that attaching a USB mouse to their DVR is the most convenient way to operate it.
If you prefer to use the remote please read the REMOTE LAYOUT page for instructions on using the remote
before you attempt to set up your DVR. Most buttons on the remote operate in a similar manner to those
on a VCR or DVD player, but due to the specific functionality of the DVR, the function of some buttons may
be obvious. These buttons are also located on the front panel of the DVR.
