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.
The front panel controls are described in Section 7: Configuration.
