HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI reduces picture noise by allowing a pure digital
video/audio signal path from the DVD Recorder & VCR to
your TV.
High quality progressive scan
Progressive scanning provides high resolution and
flicker free images. The 10-bit 54-MHz DAC, 2D Y/C

How to use the DVD Recorder & VCR
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 or DVD-RAM type disc. If you
want to save a recording without any changes,
choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
Select the disc type
Step 3
There are two different recording methods : Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP
(standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode),
and EP (extended mode).
Recording
Getting Started
Step 2
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts
formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is
required for the preparation of recording on a disc.
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 specific sequence
according to your requirements.
Using a DVD-RW
This type of disc can be formatted in either DVDVideo format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording
format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message
that asks whether to format in VR Mode or not is
displayed. You can play a V mode disc on various
DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more
varied editing.
Using a DVD-R
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video
format. After formatting is complete, you can record on
the disc. You can play this type of disc on various
DVD components only when they have been finalised.
Note
Format the disc to start recording
You can only use either the VR or V mode
on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same
time.
You can change the DVD-RW format to
another format. It should be noted that the
data of the disc may be lost when
changing formats.
Step 4
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.
During recording, a title is created between two
points where you start and stop recording.
Chapters will be created automatically when you
finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in V mode.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)
varies according to the recording mode.
Step 5
Editing on discs is easier than 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-RAM/-RW in VR mode)
With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on
the same disc and edit it without the change of the
original recording.
Playing
Editing a recorded disc
English - 9
Step 6
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and
recording operations, then finalise the disc.
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode
Although finalising is generally unnecessary when
playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalised disc should be used for playback.
Getting Started
When using a DVD-RW disc in V Mode
The disc should be finalised 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 finalised.
When using a DVD-R disc
You should finalise the disc to play it on a component
other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalised.

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 & VCR
transmits a digital video and audio signal and
displays a vivid picture on a TV having an
HDMI input jack.

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 & VCR) 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 & VCR 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.

To take full advantage of the movie theater experience

If your A/V receiver is equipped with a Dolby Digital
