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. S Z X C V K L B G A D J M N How to use the HDD & DVD Recorder Step 1 : Select the disc type or HDD Please check available disc type before recording. (DVD+RW/DVD+R discs can be played, but cannot be recorded.) 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 any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R. You can record files directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded file. Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD Recorder starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc. Using the HDD Formatting unnecessary. 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 specific sequence according to your requirements. Using a DVD-RW This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialise a disc or not. If you select "DVD-VR" or "DVD-V", initialising will be started. You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing. About the use of this user's manual 1) Be sure to be familiar with Safety Instructions before using this product. (See pages 2~7) 2) If a problem occurs, check the Troubleshooting. (See pages 104~106) English - 11 Using a DVD-R Getting Started Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised. Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The HDD & DVD Recorder supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD. 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, HDD) With this HDD & DVD Recorder, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, preexisting recording. M 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 classified as follows: Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording 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 6 : Finalising & Playing on other DVD components To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc. When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players. When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised. To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unfinalised. When using a DVD-R disc You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this HDD & DVD Recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised. 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 subsections, called chapters. During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be created automatically when you finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode. The chapter's length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode. M You can finalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function.

English - 22 J M 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 HDD & DVD Recorder transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.

White White Red HDMI connection description - If TV does not support HDCP (High -bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen. Why does Samsung use HDMI? Analogue TVs require an analogue video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analogue converter (in the HDD & DVD Recorder) or an analogue-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 HDD & DVD Recorder to your TV. What is the HDCP? 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 unauthorised copies from being made.
