  Vincent PerezAug 26, 2025
  If your Samsung DVR does not recognize all the installed disks, it may simply need more time to recognize multiple external HDDs, so try again in a moment. If the problem persists, it may occur due to a mechanical error of the HDD installed, so try again with a different HDD.

Why does my Samsung DVR display a black screen on some channels?
- J
  John SmithAug 27, 2025
  If some channels on your Samsung DVR display a black screen even if they receive video sources, first check if the camera connected to the system properly displays the image and if the camera is properly supplied with power. Sometimes, this problem may occur on a channel with weak video signal from a video distributor that is connected to multiple systems. In this case, input the video source of the camera directly into the DVR.

How to improve the recording quality on my Samsung SRD-1610D?
- J
  James BrowningSep 9, 2025
  If the image quality of the recording data on your Samsung DVR isn't satisfactory, try increasing the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / Resolution. Select a bigger size when specifying the recording size (4CIF>2CIF>CIF). Specify a bigger level for the recording quality. Keep in mind that increasing resolution and recording quality will increase the data size, filling the HDD faster and overwriting existing data sooner.

Why does my Samsung DVR say 'Need to reset date/time'?
- G
  gharperSep 1, 2025
  If your Samsung DVR displays a message saying “Need to reset date/time,” it means there's an issue with the internal clock's time setting or the clock itself. In this case, it is recommended to contact the retailer or a service center for further assistance.
