Use PINs to limit access to the DVSR xU. Only authorized users should be able to modify menu
settings or carry out certain tasks. See section User settings on page 76 for information on managing
users.
Note: You will hear an audible warning when an incorrect user name or PIN is entered. After three
incorrect entries, the unit returns to live mode.

Description of live mode

In live mode, you watch live video from a camera. Live mode is the normal operating mode of the unit.
From live mode you can switch to playback mode or to the system menu.
The way the monitors display video depends on how you set up the system.
In live mode, the DVSR xU displays the status of each video channel at the bottom of the screen. See
Figure 8. The number of channels displayed (4, 8, or 16) depends on the DVSR xU model.
