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, finalization 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).

▌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 created automatically when you finalize 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, 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 Video 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 other DVD players. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalized.

■ You can finalize automatically using the EZ REC MODE. (See page 59)

Connecting HDMI/DVI to a TV

▌Connecting to a TV with an HDMI Jack

HDMI ( High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable. Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digitial video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack." Using an HDMIHDMI cable(not included) connect the HDMI OUT jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR to the HDMI IN jack of your TV.

Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the HDMI signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR appears on your TV screen.

■To hear audio on your TV when using HDMI, set the digital audio output to PCM (2 channel). (See page 27)

■Depending on the HDMI device (TV/HDMI Receiver) you use, audio may not be supported. If your TV does not support Dolby digital/DTS, Audio output is not available when you set the Digital output as Bitstream or select DTS On in the Audio setup menu. In this case, set the digital audio output to PCM or DTS Off.

■If you use an HDMI cable to connect a Samsung TV to the DVD recorder & VCR, you can operate the recorder using the TV remote control. (This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs that support Anynet+(HDMI-CEC).) (See page 35)

■HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable.

▌Connecting to a TV with a DVI Jack

Using an HDMI-DVI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR to the DVI IN terminal of your TV.

An HDMI to DVI connection requires a separate audio connection, using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and white) OUT (AV OUT) terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV. Turn on the DVD Recorder & VCR and TV.

Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR appears on your TV screen.

■HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable.

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.

■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.

2.The message “Press “Yes” to confirm Progressive scan mode. Otherwise press “No”” will appear. Press the ◄ ► buttons to select Yes, and then press the ENTER button.

■Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan doubles the amount of video lines fed to your TV, resulting in a clearer, more stable, and flicker 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 definition 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 definition’ 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)
