Hard Drive and USB Options:
The HDD button displays essential information about the system`s internal
hard drive, and lets you format the internal HDD and external USB flash drive

drive, or the hard drive is not formatted, it will display a red "H" in the video
preview interface. To access this menu, from the MAIN MENU click HDD.
The HDD menu displays the following:
