CHAPTER 5  MENUS
In the case of a hard drive error, the system will come directly to this menu. An error may be 
indicated if the hard drive time and system time do not match. To resolve this issue, adjust 
the time in the 
General setting menu located in the Setting menu (See Section 5.3) and 
restart the system. Formatting the drive, using 
HDD Manage as described in Section 5.4 
Advanced is another possible solution to drive errors.
If the drive is damaged or missing, you will need to install a drive. Please see Chapter 10 for 
hard drive installation instructions.
Select View Recording Times to show files recorded on the DVR.
