    There are 100 system tracks available (7 of which are used as prompts for the voice mail) and these tracks reside in the system section of the DVR memory. The FF-8070 DVR is a random access system, which means that tracks can be recorded and rerecorded as often as desired without any special consideration for any previous record operations.
