About Setting Up the DVR5100 for the First Time
This section provides a basic checklist for setting up your DVR5100 for the first time. You should perform the steps in this checklist immediately
after you have installed the DVR5100 according to the steps described in Hardware Installation on page 14. The DVR5100 front panel controls are
used to configure the DVR. You can use an optional KBD5000 keyboard or a USB PC keyboard and mouse to perform some setup tasks more
efficiently. Refer to Understanding DVR5100 Controls and Menus on page 31 for a comparison on using any of these devices to work with the on-
