Icons that will be used in manual

About the use of this Instruction Manual

1)Be sure to be familiar with Safety Instructions before using this product. (See pages 2 ~ 5)

2)If a problem occurs, check the Troubleshooting. (See pages 99 ~102)

All rights reserved; No part or whole of this user???s manual may be reproduced or copied without the prior written permission of Samsung Electronics Co.

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 recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable 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 disc recording.

Using a DVD-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded video and create a playlist and edit video in a specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD??RW/+R

???When an unused DVD??RW/+R disc is first inserted, the message ???Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this disc???? will be displayed.

If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)

???With DVD+RW discs have no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

Using a DVD-R

Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode Recording is supported. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

English - 9

classified as a Date : Once(mm/dd), MON-FRI,

Every SAT, etc. as a record mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the record mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4 Playing

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-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.

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 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 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. Since HDMI is based on DVI, it is completely compatible with DVI. The only difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI supports multi-channel audio.

Using HDMI, the DVD recorder transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having anHDMI input jack.

HDMI connection description

???

???

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) 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 D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD recorder to your TV.

What is the HDCP?

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

-Though the DVD recorder uses a HDMI cable, the DVD recorder outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

-If TV does not support HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted 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.

Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)

CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD

has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID.

During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc.

If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.
