How to use the DVD
Recorder
Step 1
This unit can record on the following types of discs.
If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc
or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a
rewritable DVD-RW type disc.
If you want to save recording without any change,
choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
Step 2
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts
formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is
required for the preparation of disc recording.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVDVideo format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording
format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message
that asks whether to initialize or not is displayed.
Y ou can play a Video mode disc in standard DVD
players. A VR mode disc allows more varied
editing.
Using a DVD-R
Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode
Recording is supported.
You can play this type of disc on various DVD
components only when they have been finalized.
■
NOTE
■
Select the disc type
Format the disc to start recording
You can only use either the VR or Video
mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the
same time.
You can change the DVD-RW format to
another format by reinitializing.
It should be noted that the disc's data will
be lost when changing formats.
There are two different recording methods, Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once(mm/dd), MON-FRI,
Every SAT, etc. as a record mode : XP (high quality
Getting Started
mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long
recording mode), and EP (extended mode)
according to the record mode. When recording is
set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is
recorded with regards to the remaining time on the
disc.
Step 4
Y ou can select the title you want to play in a
displayed menu and then immediately start
playback.
A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub
sections called chapters.
During recording, a title is created between two
points where you start and stop recording. Chapters
will be created automatically when you finalize
recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video
mode. The chapter’s length (interval between
chapters) varies according to the record mode.
Recording
Playing
Step 6
To play your DVD on other DVD components,
finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible
component, a finalized disc should be used for
playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has
been finalized.
When using a DVD-R disc
Y ou should finalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
Step 5
Editing on discs is easier than editing on conventional
video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit
functions, possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate
various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename,
lock, etc., on a recorded title.
Creating a playlist (DVD-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without changing the original
recording.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of
video and audio data with just a single connector. Since
HDMI is based on DVI, it is completely compatible with
DVI. The only difference between HDMI and DVI is that
HDMI supports multi-channel audio.
Using HDMI, the DVD recorder transmits a digital video
and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV
having an HDMI input jack.
■
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and
digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Though the DVD recorder uses a HDMI cable, the DVD
recorder outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital
Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.
■
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal.
However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a
TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter
(in the DVD Recorder) or an analog-to-digital converter (in
the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture
quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI
technology is superior because it requires no D/A
conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD
recorder to your TV.
■
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a
system for protecting DVD content outputted via HDMI
from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between
a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV,
projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device
to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
