02 Safety Information

Disc Storage

Be careful not to damage the disc because the
data on these discs is highly vulnerable to the
environment.

Do not keep under direct sunlight.
Keep in a cool ventilated area.
Store vertically.
Keep in a clean protection jacket.
If you move your player suddenly from a cold

place to a warm place, condensation may
generate on the operating parts and lens and
cause abnormal disc playback. If this occurs,
wait for two hours before connecting the plug to
the power outlet.
Then insert the disc and try to play back again.

Handling Cautions

Do not write on the printed side with a ball-point
pen or pencil.

Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic.
Also, do not use volatile chemicals, such as
benzene or thinner.

Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not
use discs fixed with exposed tape adhesive or
leftover peeled-off stickers.)

Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
Do not use discs printed with label printers

available on the market.
Do not load warped or cracked discs.
Before connecting other components to this

player, be sure to turn them all off.
Do not move the player while a disc is being

played as the disc may be scratched or broken,
or the player’s internal parts may be damaged.

Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any
small metal objects on the player.

Be careful not to put your hand into the disc
tray.

Do not place anything other than the disc in the
disc tray.

Exterior interferences such as lightning and
static electricity can affect the normal operation
of this player. If this occurs, turn the player
off and on again with the POWER button, or
disconnect and then reconnect the AC power
cord to the AC power outlet. The player will
operate normally.

Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the
player after use.

Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet when you don’t intend to use the player
for long periods of time.

To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight
line from the inside to the outside of
the disc.

Do not expose the player to any
liquid.

When the AC plug is connected to a wall outlet,
the player will still draw power (standby mode)
when it is turned off.

Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

The main plug is used as a disconnect device
and shall stay readily operable at any time.

Maintenance of Cabinet

For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the AC
power cord from the AC outlet.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents
for cleaning.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Restrictions on Playback

This player may not respond to all operating
commands because some Blu-ray, DVD and
CD discs allow specific or limited operation and
features during playback.
Please note that this is not a defect in the
player.

Samsung cannot assure that this player will
play every disc bearing the Blu-ray Disc, DVD
or CD logo because disc formats evolve, and
problems and errors may occur during the
creation of Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD software
and/or the manufacture of discs.
Please contact the SAMSUNG customer care
center if you have questions or encounter
difficulty in playing Blu-ray, DVD, or CD discs
in this player. Also, refer to rest of this user

Connecting to a TV

Case 1 : Connecting to a TV with an HDMI Cable - Best Quality
(Recommended)

Using an HDMI cable, connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the player to the HDMI IN
terminal of your TV.

Turn on the player and TV.
Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the HDMI signal from the player appears on

your TV screen.

If you have set the remote control to operate your TV (See page 19), press the TV SOURCE
button on the remote control and select HDMI as the external source of the TV.

NOTE

An HDMI cable outputs digital video/audio, so you don’t need to connect an audio cable.
If the player is connected to your TV in HDMI 1080p output mode, you must use a High speed(category2) HDMI cable.
HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work. Please refer to the user manual of your TV.
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the first time or to a new TV, the HDMI output

resolution will be automatically set to the highest supported by the TV.

Case 3 : Connecting to a TV (Component) - Better Quality

Connecting to your TV using Component video cables.
You will enjoy high quality images with accurate color reproduction. Component video separates the

picture element into black and white(Y), blue(PB) and red(PR) signals to present clear and clean images.
(Audio signals are delivered through the audio output.)

Using Component video cables, connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals on the rear of

appears on the TV screen.

If you have set the remote control to operate your TV (See page 19), press the TV SOURCE
button on the remote control and select COMPONENT as the external source of the TV.

NOTE

Depending on the manufacturer, the component terminals on your TV may be marked “R-Y, B-Y, Y ” or “Cr, Cb, Y”
instead of “PB, PR, Y”. The number and position of terminals may vary depending on the TV set.
Please refer to the user manual of your TV.

You can select from a variety of resolution settings for Blu-ray Discs such as 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, depending on
the disc type. (See pages 31~32)

The actual resolution may differ from the setting in the setup menu if both Component and HDMI cables are connected.
The resolution may also be different depending on the disc. (See pages 31~32)

In DVD playback, if both HDMI and Component jacks are connected and you select the Component 1080p, 1080i or
720p mode, the Display Setup menu will show the output resolution as 1080p, 1080i or 720p in the menu.
The resolution is actually 480i.
