Your Owner’s Instructions contain much valuable information on setting up and using your VCR.
Please take the time to read them as they will help you take full advantage of the VCR’s features.
The manual is organized as follows:
◆
A series of step-by-step procedures for each function available forms the main body of the
manual.
◆
You can consult the glossary on page 49, to obtain an explanation of the main technical terms
used throughout this manual.
◆
On pages 6 and 7, you will find illustrations of the VCR (front and rear), the display and the
remote control unit to help you find the buttons and understand the symbols displayed.
Preparing Your Video Cassette Recorder
Before being able to play and record video cassettes, you must prepare and connect your VCR.
◆
Insert batteries in the remote control.
◆
Connect your VCR to the television.
◆
Set the date and time used to display information on the television screen.
◆
Preset the stations.
All these operations are essential so you must follow the step-by-step instructions carefully.
Today, the Video Recorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home
entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video
enabling home video making.
Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems
around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes.
The Samsung SV-5000W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through
sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in
the world (with free voltage).
Worldwide TV Color System
Many countries have different TV signal formats, with no exchangeability between them. This makes it
impossible to play back or record tapes with different signal formats. This worldwide common VCR
overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire.

The Worldwide VCR is similar to the Multi-System VCR in that it will play back tapes recorded in any
TV Broadcasting System. However, there are a few key differences:
Multi-System VCR
With a Multi-System VCR:
The TV must correspond to the system of the tape being
played, otherwise, a Multi-System TV is also required;
Tape duplication with system conversion (eg NTSC to PAL) is
not possible.

SV-5000W Worldwide VCR
With the Worldwide VCR:
Tapes can be played on any TV monitor;
Recordings can be made in any TV Broadcasting System,
even if the tape is of a different system;
Tape duplication with system conversion is possible.

One of the most useful functions of the Worldwide VCR is the combination of tape duplication and
system conversion, more simply known as “Tape Conversion”. This allows the user to copy, for
example, a SECAM tape and simultaneously convert it to PAL or NTSC. This is particularly useful for
duplicating home video camcorder recordings and sending them to friends or relatives abroad.

Hi-Fi Audio System
Hi-Fi and linear audio
To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular
VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system.
Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is
recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear
audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase
the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.
