Can't dim panel lights??

My first post!!
I just finished upgrading to the HR20-700!
I tried to dim the lighting on the front of the HR20 by using the left arrow key next to the orange select button. The only thing that happens is that the power button light starts to flash. The same thing happens when press and hold the right button.
On a positive note, I successfuly recorded a movie last night.
Thanks for your help.

Press and hold the left and right buttons on the eye... hit them 4 times and the eye goes out completely. As most of us know, this adds security as well since D* can't see you then.

Ah, so to order free movies, darken the eye. :)

Slyster, thanks, that worked great. I feel much more secure now.
Now if I could get the power and record lights turned down.

A perfectly cut piece of black tape with a pin hole in the center works wonders.;)

How did a laptop go for sale under a how to dim panel lights thread? FREAKY!

YES- electrical tape is perfect for dimming the other lights!

Stare into the HR20ypnotoad eyes

Leave the lights alone, the lights are your friend, stare into the blue eyes of the HR20ypnotoad.​

Those bright lights are there for a purpose: helps you keep from breaking your neck on the way to pee at night by acting as a night light.
