Setting Up the DVR5100 for the First Time
This section describes how to set up the DVR5100 for the first time. Information about configuring the unit is available in Basic DVR5100
Configuration on page 53. The first thing you must do after you install your unit is to set up a primary monitor. By default, a VGA monitor is the
primary monitor type. You can set your default monitor type to NTSC or PAL. The two methods for setting up an NTSC or PAL monitor as the
primary monitor are described below.
