DVD-Video.
• You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and
programs and erasing programs before finalizing.
• 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.

High quality digital audio and video recording and
playback
Record up to about 16-hour images with a double side 9.4
GB DVD-RAM disc, and up to about 8-hour images with a
4.7 GB DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc, depending on the
recording mode.
Creating DVD video titles using DVD-RW/-R discs
With the DVD-VR325, you can create your own DVD video
titles on 4.7 GB DVD-RW/-R discs.
A Variety of Recording Options

and EP to meet your recording needs. (See page 54)
• XP mode - High quality, about 1 hour
• SP mode - Standard quality, about 2 hours
• LP mode - Low quality, about 4 hours
• EP mode - Lower quality, about 6 or 8 hours
Copying digital camcorder content using DV input jack
Record digital camcorder images onto DVD-RAM/
-RW/-R discs or video tape using the DV input jack
(IEEE1394-4pin). (See page 20)
High quality progressive scan
Progressive scanning provides high resolution and flicker
free video. The 10-bit 54-MHz DAC, 2D Y/C Separating circuitry and Time Base Corrector processor technology provide you with the highest image playback and recording
quality. (See page 17)
Component progressive scan output video is available in
both DVD and VCR modes.

How to use the DVD Recorder & VCR
Step 1
Select the disc type
Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
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.
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 finalized.
■
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 by reinitializing.
It should be noted that the disc's data will
be lost when changing formats.
Note
Step 3
Recording
Step 4
Playing
Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
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 finalize
recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in V mode. The
chapter’s length (interval between chapters) varies
according to the recording mode.
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).
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 changing the
original recording.

10 - English
Step 6
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
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 V 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
You 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.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
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.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video
data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit
Stream data).
- Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the
player outputs only a pure digital signal to
the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth 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 & 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. DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is
a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via DVI 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.
Note
Step 5 : Connecting HDMI/DVI to a TV
To watch HDMI/DVI output, set the digital
audio output to PCM. See page 29.
