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 a
recording without making any changes, choose a nonrewritable DVD±R.
▌
Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording
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 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 be begin. DVD-RW discs
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+R 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 and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
determined as a date and recording can be done once,
daily or weekly. There are 4 recording modes : XP (high
quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long
recording mode), and EP (extended mode).
English - 9
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 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/edit a new playlist on
the same disc without changing the original recording.
▌
Step 6
:
Finalizing & Playing on other
DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD players, 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 other DVD
players. No more editing or recording can be made on the
disc once it has been fi nalized.

Using HDMI, the DVD and VCR 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).
- Even though the DVD Recorder & VCR records
analog audio and video, with HDMI the analog
signal is converted to digital signal and is sent 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
& 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 digital-to-analog 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 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.
Connecting the Video Cable
There are several ways to connect your DVD Recorder & VCR. 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)

Connect Component video cables (not supplied) between the COMPONENT OUT (Y,PB,PR) jacks on DVD
Recorder & VCR and COMPONENT IN (Y,P

) jacks on your TV.
B,PR
(P.SCAN Button)
• You will enjoy high quality images. Component video
separates the picture element into black and White(Y),
blue(PB), red(PR) signals to present clear and clean
images.
• Connect the audio cables(white and red) between the
Component AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Recorder &
VCR and Component AUDIO IN jacks on your TV(or AV
amplifi er). (See pages 21~23)
• Progressive scan
- If your TV supports Progressive Scan, you can enjoy
higher quality video by pressing the P.SCAN button.
(The component cable has to be connected.)
1. With the unit in Stop mode, press the P.SCAN button
on the front of the DVD Recorder & VCR.
2. The message “Press “Yes” to confi rm Progressive
scan mode. Otherwise press “No”” will appear. Press
the ◄► buttons to select Yes, and then press the
ENTER button.
English - 18
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)
Consumers should note that not all high defi nition
television sets are fully compatible with this
product and may cause artifacts to be displayed
in the picture. If you experience 480p progressive
scan picture problems, it is recommended that you
switch the connection to the ‘standard defi nition’
output. 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 and 1080i,
connect the DVD-VR357 to your TV with an HDMIHDMI cable. With HDMI connected, press the
P.SCAN button to alternate between all available
resolutions. (See page 29)
