Basic operation

Turning on the TVR 20

Before turning the TVR 20 power on, make sure that the power supply matches that
of the TVR 20 and the AC adapter is connected correctly. Connect at least one
monitor to the video out or the VGA interface. Otherwise, you will not be able to see
the user interface and operate the device.
The TVR 20 auto-detects the video mode (PAL or NTSC) on startup.
To turn on the TVR 20:
1. Connect power supply correctly.
Once the TVR 20 is powered, the Power LED on the front panel should light up in
green.

Logging on

Use passwords to limit access to the TVR 20. Only authorized users should be able to
modify menu settings or carry out certain tasks.
The TVR 20 is shipped with one predefined user for the system administrator. The
default system administrator log on uses "admin" as a user name with a default
password of 1234. You can modify the admin password but not the admin user
name. We recommend that you change the admin password once you have
completed the installation and setup in order to protect against unauthorized access.
The administrator can create up to nine users and define their privileges. For more
information, see "Managing users" on page 91.
The Login screen appears every time you logout from the main menu.
