An HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector is provided so that you can use
an HDMI monitor as your main monitor.
A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor as
your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR.
NOTE: Connect the monitor before the DVR boots so that video can be displayed on the monitor with the resolution
you have set during system setup. If you want to use both the HDMI and VGA Monitor connectors, one
of the monitors should be connected before the DVR boots, and the other monitor should be connected
after the DVR boots.
