What to do if I forgot my Samsung DVR password?
Contact the DVR administrator for help.
Why can't I move the cursor to the Start button on my Samsung SRD-1610D calendar search?
If the cursor will not move to the Start button when you start the calendar search on your Samsung DVR, check if the channel and the date that you want to play are marked with the V symbol. Both channel and date should be checked before you can start playing with the Start button.
Why won't my Samsung SRD-1610D start recording when I press the REC button?
If the REC indicator does not flash, nor does the player start recording when you press the [REC] button on the front panel of your Samsung DVR, check if there is a free space on the HDD for the recording and if the record mode is set to ON in the record mode setting.
How to fix Samsung SRD-1610D not recognizing external SATA HDD?
See the compatibility list of external storage devices to check if the connected device is supported by the Samsung DVR. For the compatibility list, contact the retailer where you purchased the DVR.
How to fix Samsung SRD-1610D DVR not recognizing additional HDD?
See the compatibility list to check if the additional HDD is supported by the Samsung DVR. For the compatibility list, contact the retailer where you purchased the DVR.
What to do if my Samsung SRD-1610D system does not turn on?
If your Samsung DVR system does not turn on, check if the power supply system is properly connected. Also, check the system for the input voltage from the power source. If the problem persists even after you have taken the above actions, check the power supplier and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Why does my Samsung DVR display a black screen on some channels?
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.
What to do if my Samsung SRD-1610D does not recognize all installed disks?
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.
What to do if my Samsung SRD-1610D DVR displays 'NO HDD' icon?
If your Samsung DVR displays the “NO HDD” icon and an error message, check the HDD for connection. If the problem persists in a normal condition, contact the nearest service center to have the HDD checked by the service personnel.
