IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the ﬁ tted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared ﬂ exible cord.

To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

Disc Speciﬁ cations

This unit allows you to record and playback high quality digital video on DVD-RAM/±RW/±R discs or on the HDD. You can also edit digital images on DVD-RAM/±RW discs or HDD.

Disc Type

DVD-Video

❖

A digital versatile disc (DVD) can contain up to 135-minutes of images, 8 audio languages and 32 subtitle

•

languages. It is equipped with MPEG-2 picture compression and Dolby digital surrounding, allowing you to enjoy vivid and clear theatre quality images in the comfort of your own home.

When switching from the ﬁ rst layer to the second layer of a dual-layered DVD Video disc, there may be

•

momentary distortion in the image and sound. This is not a malfunction of the unit. Once a DVD-RW/±R recorded in Video Mode is ﬁ nalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

•

Audio CD

❖

An audio disc on which 44.1 kHz PCM Audio is recorded.

•

Plays CD-DA format audio CD-R and CD-RW discs.

•

The unit may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the condition of the recording.

•

CD-R/-RW

❖

Use a 700MB (80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc. If possible, do not use a 800MB (90 minutes) or above disc, as

•

the disc may not play back. If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed session, you may experience a delay in the early

•

playback time, all recorded ﬁ les may not play. Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with this unit, depending on the device which was used to

•

burn them. For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from CDs for your personal use, playability may vary depending on contents and discs.

DVD±R Disc Playback and Recording

❖

Once a DVD±R recorded in Video Mode is ﬁ nalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

•

You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles to

•

discs and programmes and erasing programmes before ﬁ nalising. When programming is erased from a DVD±R, that space does not become available. Once an area on a

•

DVD±R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording

•

ﬁ nishes. This product optimizes the DVD±R for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording

•

after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times.

Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the condition of recording.

•

This unit can play back DVD±R discs recorded and ﬁ nalised with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not

•

be able to play some DVD±R discs depending on the disc and the condition of the recording.

DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording

❖

Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW discs in both the Video and VR Modes.

•

Once a DVD-RW recorded in both the Video and VR Modes is ﬁ nalised, you cannot perform additional

•

recording. Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is ﬁ nalised, it becomes DVD-Video.

•

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after ﬁ nalisation, but additional recording, deleting

•

and editing can not be performed after ﬁ nalisation.

● GETTING STARTED

DVD+RW Disc Playback and Recording

❖

With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format(Video mode) and DVD-Video

•

Recording format(VR mode).

•

Finalising is generally unnecessary when using a DVD+RW disc.

DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording

❖

HOW TO USE THE HDD & DVD RECORDER

Step 1 : Select the disc type or HDD

Please check available disc type before recording.

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 a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R. You can record ﬁ les directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded ﬁ le.

Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD Recorder starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using the HDD

Formatting unnecessary.

Using a DVD-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create a playlist in a speciﬁ c sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD-RW

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialise a disc or not. If you select “DVD-VR” or “DVD-V”, initialising will be started. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these types of discs on various DVD components only when they have been ﬁ nalised.

Using a DVD+RW

For an unused DVD+RW disc, a message that asks whether to format a disc or not. If you select “DVD+RW”, formatting will be started.

Using a DVD+R

This type of disc will be formatted automatically.

Step 3 : Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classiﬁ ed as follows:

Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

14_ getting started

Step 4 : Playing

You 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.

Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The HDD & DVD Recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.

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-RAM/-RW in VR mode, HDD)

With this HDD & DVD Recorder, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, preexisting recording.

Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, ﬁ nalising may be necessary. First, ﬁ nish all editing and recording operations, then ﬁ nalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be ﬁ nalised ﬁ rst to enable playback on anything other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been ﬁ nalised. To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unﬁ nalised.

When using a DVD±R disc

You should ﬁ nalise the disc to play it on a component other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been ﬁ nalised.

You can ﬁ nalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 47)
