While setting up the DVR, there will be many opportunities to enter names and titles. When making these entries, a
Virtual Keyboard will appear.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the character you want in the name or title and press
the button. That character appears in the title bar and the cursor moves to the next
position. Pressing
toggles between the upper and lower case keyboards,
backspaces, and deletes entered characters. You can use up to 31 characters including
spaces in your title.
Special characters can be created using ^ and a capital letter; e.g., ^J for NL (New
Line), ^M for CR (Carriage Return). Special characters are commonly used by text
input devices and will be useful when performing Text-In Searches.
