The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. Many of the buttons
have multiple functions. The following describes each button and control. Take a few minutes to review the
descriptions. You will use these to initially set up your recorder and for daily operations.
Note: You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus much
like you would on a computer.
