You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.

The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3 — Configuration.

Thank you--

In the above text-in data, you can find that the comparison value is located at 17th (Unit price. S mark will be ignored automatically), 28^th (Qty) and 40^th (amount) characters (including spaces) from the left, but the value of amount category is located on a different line from Item. In this case, you can enter "17", "28" and "40" in each Column box and enter "1" in the Line box for the next line.

For example, if you want to search for Coke with a Qty (Quantity) of more than 1 and Hotdog with an amount totaling over S8, the following search condition can be set.
