Note:
When a HDD is set to read-only, no more recordings can be written to the disk. In order to enable recordings
on that particular disk again, you must set the HDD to R/W (Read/ Write) in the HDD Property Settings menu. If
multiple HDDs are used, the DVR will automatically record to the next HDD that is not set to read-only.
