Getting the included hand held IR
remote control to work. (It doesn't work by default)
Why? Because if you
have more then one DVR you need a way to have your
remote control / controls actually control the unit you
want it to control. Otherwise when you use the remote
control it would control all the units at one time which
could be a big problem.
Here is how you assign your first hand
held IR remote control to operate with your first DVR
unit.
First
notice that there is only ONE
GREEN LIGHT
light up on the DVR UNIT.
1. Press MENU on the DVR unit itself. You will be
prompted for a password.
2. At the password prompt press
the right arrow, this will move you in to the input
field of the PW request.
3. Enter your password (The default is 12345, if you
haven't changed it yet), the press the right arrow on
the DVR. This will move you to the CONFIRM prompt.
4. Press the ENTER button on the DVR unit. This will
take you to the MAIN MENU.
5. In the MAIN MENU, highlight the DISPLAY
square, press ENTER on the DVR unit.
6. Use the down arrow to move the curser over the DEVICE
option.
7. NOW, ON THE Hand Held IR REMOTE CONTROL, press
the DVE key, then
enter 88 on the IR
remote, Then the ENTER
button on the Hand Held IR
Remote Control.
You should now have TWO
GREEN LIGHTS light up on the DVR UNIT.
