Important Warranty Information Regarding
Television Format Viewing

Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them
should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying
stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars
(wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing
per week.

Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on
them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if
your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and
images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video
and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per
week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video
game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as
described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed the above

guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent
burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and
images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark
bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the

different formats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT
aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered
by your Samsung limited warranty.

1

Locate the A/V output jacks on the camcorder. They are
usually found on the side or rear of the camcorder.

2

Connect a set of audio cables between the “AV 3 (L, R)”
jacks on the TV and the AUDIO OUT jacks on the camcorder.

If you have mono camcorder, connect L(mono) to
camcorder audio out using only one audio cable.

3

Connect a video cable between the “AV 3 (VIDEO)”
(or “S-VIDEO2 INPUT”) jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT
jacks on the camcorder.

The audio-video cables shown here are usually included
with a Camcorder. (If not, check your local electronics
store.) If your camcorder is stereo, you need to connect a
set of two cables.

Connecting to the Digital Audio Input

The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a device with digital audio output.
After making a connection, set the audio input by reference to page 51.

Connect a audio (or optical) cable between the
“COAXIAL IN” (or “OPTICAL IN”) jack on the TV
and the AUDIO OUT jack on a device with digital
audio output.

Viewing Closed Caption Information

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with
some television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or
translations into other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television
programs, so pre-recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for
the closed caption symbol ( ) on the tape’s package or your TV program-schedule.

DVD OPERATION

When playing CD-R/MP3 discs, please follow the recommendations
below:

• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and
with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

• When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file

extension.

General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title, make sure that you use 8
characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including:
(.,/,\,=,+).

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate (conversion to
MP3 format) of at least 128 Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below
128 Kbps will not be played properly.

• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

Certain “securized” files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files
are of the following types: Windows Media

TM

(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and

SDMITM (registered trademark of The SDMI Foundation). You cannot copy such files.

• Your DVD player only accepts one level of file directory.

Consequently you must choose:

- either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc;

- and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g.classical, rock, jazz, etc)

• Important

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD
player (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

• This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.
