The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. Many of the buttons have multiple
functions. The buttons on the infrared remote control, while laid out differently, perform the same functions as those
on the front panel. The following describes each button and control. Take a few minutes to review the descriptions.
You will use these to initially set up your DVR and for daily operations.
NOTE: The infrared sensor on the DVR is just to the right of the arrow buttons. Make certain that nothing blocks
the sensor, or the remote control will not function properly.
When you use wireless communication devices (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) near the DVR, the remote
control might not function properly.
You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus much like
you would on a computer.
