The following sections detail the initial setup of the DVR
3-1. Entering SETUP
When you press the SETUP button, the DVR will ask for a password. The default password is 1111, which can be entered by pressing the up button (

After a password has been assigned, enter the password by using the 4 direction keys (representing 1, 2, 3, & 4), and then press the SEL button for password validation. Once the password is entered, you will see the screen as shown in Figure 3.1.1. Navigate through the menu items and press the SEL button to enter the sub-category menu.
