How to use the DVD Recorder
Step 1 : Select the disc type
▌
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 or DVD-RAM type disc.
If you want to save the recording without making any
changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R.
▌
Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
The recorder automatically starts formatting when an
unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation
of disc recording.
Using a DVD-RAM
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded video
and create a playlist and edit video in a specifi c sequence
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD±RW/+R
• When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is fi rst inserted, the
message “Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this
disc?” will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will begin. DVD-RW disc can
be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode)
or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)
• There are no differences between DVD-Video format
(Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode) with DVD+RW discs.
Using a DVD-R
When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is
possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this
recorder. However, fi nalization is necessary to play this
disc on other DVD players.
You can only use either the VR or Video mode on
■
a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using
■
disc manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost
when changing formats.

Step 3 : Recording
▌
There are two different recording methods. Direct Recording
(recording a program you are currently watching) and
Timer Recording. Timer recording is determined as a Date :
MM/DD, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc.. There are 5 recording
modes : XP(high quality mode), SP(standard quality mode),
LP(long recording mode), EP(extended mode) and FR
mode. When using FR mode to record, the picture quality is
determined by the remaining time on the disc.
Step 4 : Playing
▌
To start playback select the title you want to play from the
Title list.
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
Getting Started
created automatically when you fi nalize recording on
DVD-R/DVD-RW discs in Video mode.
You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and
edit them using the Chapter Edit menu. The chapter’s
length (interval between chapters) varies according to the
recording mode.
▌
Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc
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.
With this recorder, you can create playlists using a DVDRAM/DVD-RW in VR mode. Once a playlist is created you
can create/edit a new playlist on the same disc without
changing the original recording.

To play your DVD on other DVD components, fi nalizing
may be necessary. First, fi nish all editing and recording
operations, then fi nalize the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although fi nalizing is generally unnecessary when playing
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a fi nalized
disc should be used for playback.
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode
The disc should be fi nalized fi rst to enable playback
on anything other than this recorder. No more editing
or recording can be made on the disc once it has been
fi nalized.
When using a DVD±R disc
You should fi nalize the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can
be made on the disc once it has been fi nalized.
You can fi nalize automatically using the EZ REC

HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
■
HDMI enables you to make a digital video and
audio connection with a single cable.
Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital
video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture
on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI is completely compatible with DVI. The only
■
difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI
supports multi-channel audio.
HDMI connection description
■
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data
and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- The DVD recorder outputs a pure digital signal to
the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP
(Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow
noise appears on the screen.
English - 17
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 output
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.
Step 3 : Connecting the Video Cable
There are several ways to connect your DVD Recorder. Select one of the video connections on the following
pages.
You must use one of the following audio/video connections on this unit.
Connecting to Component video input jacks (Y,PB,PR)
▌
Connecting & Setting Up
1. Connect the Component video cables(not supplied)
between the COMPONENT OUT(Y,PB,PR) jacks on the
DVD Recorder and COMPONENT IN(Y,P
your TV (or AV amplifi er).
2. If the connected TV supports Progressive Scan, press
the P.SCAN button on the front of the DVD Recorder to
enjoy best quality video. Pressing the P.SCAN button
switches Progressive (480P) / Interlace (480i) scan
mode on.
• You will enjoy the best quality accurate color
reproduction images. Component video separates the
picture element into black and white(Y), blue(P
red(PR) signals to present clear and clean images.
• Connect the audio cables(white and red) between the
AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Recorder and AUDIO IN
jacks on your TV(or AV amplifi er).

■
Compared to standard interlaced video,
progressive scan doubles the amount of video
lines fed to your TV, resulting in a clearer, more
stable, and fl icker free image than interlaced
video. The component output jack of the DVD
player can be used for progressive output mode,
which is only available with TVs that support
progressive scan.
■
Progressive Scan Output (480P).
Not all high defi nition television sets are fully
compatible with this product. If the 480p progressive
scan picture is not satisfactory, press the P.SCAN
button on the unit to switch to the Interlace mode.
If there are questions regarding TV set
compatibility with this model, please contact our
customer service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
■
The Component jacks will not output video
resolutions above 480P. To view 720P, 1080i and
1080P, connect the DVD-R160 to your TV with an
HDMI-HDMI cable. With HDMI connected, press the
P.SCAN button with the unit in Stop mode to alternate
between all available resolutions. (See page 34)
Connecting to an S-Video input jack
▌
Connect an S-Video cable(not supplied) between the S-VIDEO OUT jack on DVD Recorder and S-VIDEO IN jack
on your TV (or AV amplifi er).
Connecting & Setting Up
• You will enjoy high quality images. S-Video separates
the picture element into black and white (Y) and color
(C) signals to present clearer images than regular video
input mode.
• Connect the audio cables(white and red) between the
AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Recorder and AUDIO IN
jacks on your TV(or AV amplifi er). (See pages 21~23)
English - 19
■
S-Video or Component video outputs are
available only if your TV supports S-Video input or
Component video input, respectively.
If S-Video or Component video output does not
work, check your TV connections and the TV input
selection settings.
Connecting to a Video input jack
▌
Connect a video(yellow) cable between the VIDEO(yellow) OUT jack on DVD Recorder and VIDEO(yellow) IN jack
on the TV (or AV amplifi er).
