Selecting DVRS Mode

When a 'DVRS Enabled' TG / channel is selected on the MSU, the user may enter the
'DVRS Control Mode' by pressing the DVRS button on the control head and change the
DVRS mode / channel / status as described below:

Selecting DVRS Mode from the Control Head

To change the DVRS mode:
•
Press the DVRS button and observe the MSU enter the 'DVR Control Mode'.
•
Press the MODE button to toggle the DVRS mode until the desired selection
appears on the top line of the control mode display.
•
Once the desired mode is displayed press the SEL button or simple wait for the
DVR control mode to timeout (the last selected DVR Mode is in effect).

Strapped DVRS Mode

The DVRS mode and channel may be programmed to be 'Strapped' to the specific MSU
TG/Channel.
In this case, selecting a specific MSU TG / channel on the control head would
automatically force the DVR to revert to a pre-programmed DVR mode and/or channel.
For example, selecting a DVR Enabled TG named 'DISPATCH' on the MSU may
automatically force the DVR to switch to DVR Channel 1, SYSTEM Mode. If enabled in
the specific DVR personality programming, the DVRS user can still toggle the DVR
mode by pressing the DVRS button and entering the 'DVR Control Mode'. If mode
change by the user is prohibited in the specific DVRS personality, the user can only
select between the 'Strapped' (either LOCAL or SYSTEM) and OFF DVR modes from
the 'DVR Control Mode' menu.
