2. Device Power On/Off
When we are certain that the AC SELECT voltage supply selection switch is set in proper position
(see page 10 for more information) we can turn on the device with the switch (to position „1”).
To activate the Multiplexer the button
OPERATE should be pressed and hold for around 3 seconds.
The system start procedure will initiate what will be indicated by a blinking diodes on front panel and
sign on the monitor screen.

MULTIPLEXER MENU
3. MULTIPLEXER MENU
Multiplexers NV-DVR900 and NV-DVR1600 provide multilevel OSD (on screen display) menus. This
menus provide Multiplexer’s settings functions and functions executions such us playback or backup.
Devices in versions with installed CD writers are identical in their functionality and feature identical
OSD.
The menu is displayed in English language however there is a possibility to select different language
(see chapter 3.6 fro more details).
Menu for devices in 9 and 16 channels versions vary only with the quantity of specific positions
applying to several channels. So there is 9, or 16 channels, alarm inputs, etc.
In order to enter Multiplexer menu settings button
SETUP should be pressed.
In main menu that will be displayed on the screen there are seven sub-menus. Specific menu functions
will be described on next pages of this user’s manual.
To move around the menu
JOG or buttons with arrows  are used.
For selection confirmation, entering sub-menu as well as entering the edition fields button
ENTER
is used. When edition field is entered it is distinguish by an underline..
By twisting
JOG or using arrow buttons the value is modified.
