Clearing a Scheduled Recording

The DX8100 Schedule feature allows you to do the following:

For example, you can select and drag the recording times for channel 1-32. However, the system does not allow you to select random channels from the list. For example, you are not allowed to select channel 1, 2, and 4 (excluding camera 3).

For one or multiple channels, you can clear the scheduled recording times for all record modes simultaneously.

You can select and clear recording times periods in increments of 30 minutes to 24 hours.
