NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not,
please refer to Chapters 2 and 3.
The DVR's controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and
playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back
video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR
allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those
available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control
and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.
The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3

Turning on the Power
