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.

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). (See pages 21~23)

■

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).

Concerning Copy Control Signals

TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have one of the following three signal types, COPY-Free, Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once type program, use a DVD-RW disc with CPRM in VR Mode. You can also use DVD-RAM discs.

When a “Copy Once” recording has been made, recording cannot be done anymore. *compatible with CPRM.

Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)



CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.

This section introduces basic functions of DVD editing.

• Title List

A title is a section of recorded video and audio. The Title List shows a list to help you select a title. If one title is deleted from the title list, that title cannot be played again.

• Playlist

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List. When one playlist is played, only the scene selected by the user will play and then stop. Since only the information necessary for playing a desired scene is included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted, the original recorded title will not be deleted.

Recording or editing might not be completed if an error such as a sudden power failure occurs.

Please be aware that material that has been damaged cannot be retrieved.
