If you prefer to use the remote please read the REMOTE LAYOUT page for instructions on using the remote before you attempt to set up your DVR. Most buttons on the remote operate in a similar manner to those on a VCR or DVD player, but due to the specific functionality of the DVR, the function of some buttons may be obvious. These buttons are also located on the front panel of the DVR.
