Once the system installation is complete, apply 
power in the following order:

each camera for full screen display.  Check the playback picture quality.

QuickInstall menu be configured before the unit is used.  All the features located in the QuickInstall 
menu are also found in the Main menu.  These items are provided in the separate QuickInstall menu 
as a convenience for the installer.
