NOTE: The System ID number is used to identify the unit when it is connected with other DVRs through the
RS485 port. You cannot use the same ID number for two or more DVRs that are in the same RS485
network. It is possible to have multiple DVRs with System ID 0 that are in the same area as long as they
are not part of an RS485 network. If this is the case, all will be controlled at the same time when using
the infrared remote control.

Upgrade
screen appears. The screen displays the upgrade package file names that are
available. The “

” indicates that the file is for optical drive
firmware upgrades.
Select the desired file and press the
button. Highlighting the
Install
button and pressing the
button will install
the selected software package. Highlighting the

button and pressing the
button will close the window without
upgrading the software. If the upgrade package file is not installed on the DVR properly, you will get an error message.
The system restarts automatically after completing the upgrade.
