3.3Navigating with the DVR1 Controls

Navigating and entering parameter values with the DVR1 controls are designed to be easy and intuitive. Most menus use the same navigation for programming operations.

Pull-down Menus

Pull-downmenus are the top-level menus, and are accessed by pressing MENU. For example, the following DVR1 Main Menu is a pull-down menu.

TIME/DATE

ALARMS

TIMER SETTINGS

RECORD SETTINGS

DISPLAY SETTINGS

ARCHIVE SETUP

ADVANCED MENU

ABOUT DSR

Use the Left/Right Arrows to scroll through the items or fields shown in a menu. When the desired item is highlighted, press ENTER to select that item.

Choosing an item from a pull-down menu typically leads to a sub-menu (i.e., a pop-upmenu). Changes to operating parameters are usually made in pop-up menus.

To exit the program menu or menu level (after all parameter changes have been made), press MENU.

Pop-up Menus

Pop-upmenus usually have a parameter(s) from which you can select or change the value. A sample pop-up menu is shown below.

Press ENTER to select any item.

To save changes and exit the pop-up menu: select [OK] and/or press ENTER.

To exit the menu without making changes: press MENU or select [CANCEL], and press ENTER.
