How to Perform a Default Factory Reset DVR+ (CM7500)

This procedure will return your DVR+ back to its original factory settings as it was the day it was first installed. The factory reset will remove your recording schedule and all of the personal options you have set but will not affect the recordings already on your hard drive.

  • Press Menu>DVR>DVR Setup>Disconnect External Drive>Confirm to disconnect>Disconnect External Hard Drive(if you are using one).
