The DVR's controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording
and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and
playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and
day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much
more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that
are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and recording video at the
same time you are watching previously recorded video.
