    New to the forum and not too technically savvy, so sorry for the question if the answers obvious, but how do I perform a factory reset and a HDD format.
    I've looked through the various menus but can't find anything...

    Welcome to the Forum

    Instructions below, but have to ask why you want to do this?

    Factory Default and HDD are in same menu so:

    Press Settings button on remote
    Then highlight System settings - press OK
    Highlight Factory default - press OK
    Reset system should be highlighted - press OK
    Yes should be highlighted - press OK
    Enter password (default password is 0000 (4 zero's))
    Continue will be highlighted press OK

    Format HDD

    Press Settings button on remote
    Then highlight System settings - press OK
    Highlight Storage - press OK
    Highlight HDD - press OK
    Highlight Start disk format - press OK
    Enter pin as before
    Continue should be highlighted - press OK

    Disk will now format, and a processing message should appear on screen.

    Never ne afraid to ask what you might think is obvious on here, we are a friendly bunch in the main.

    Is the box recording at the time or one due within 15 mins ?

    Ah...!
    Wifey's sneaked in and set it to record two channels at the mo.
    (Won't say which two, far too embarrassing!)
    The light has dawned!
    Many thanks Graham.

    You do realise Wifeys recordings will be gone for ever when you do the deed ?
