Troubleshooting

Technical Information Menu

To assist in locating any problems you may experience, your DVR includes a Technical
Information menu that shows details such as software versions and signal strengths. For good
quality reception the quality bars should be green. For acceptable reception (some picture
disturbance may be experienced) the bars will be yellow. If the bars are red then the picture will
be unwatchable, and you should improve the signal to the DVR. The power bars show how much
signal is present at the tuner. Again, green is best, yellow is just acceptable and red is too poor
for digital reception. Adjust your aerial until all the bars are green.
