English _11 getting started HOW TO USE THE HDD & DVD RECORDER Step 1 : Select the disc type or HDD Please check available disc type before recording. 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. Using a DVD-R Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these types of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised. Using a DVD+RW For an unused DVD+RW disc, a message that asks whether to format a disc or not. If you select "DVD+RW", formatting will be started. Using a DVD+R This type of disc will be formatted automatically. 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. 12_ getting started 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. 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. GETTING STARTED 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. M You can finalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 45) English _13 getting started UNPACKING Accessories Check for the supplied accessories below.

(This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs that support Anynet+(HDMI CEC).) (See pages 37~38) Please check the n logo (If your TV has an n logo, then it supports Anynet+ function.) 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. 28_ connecting & setting up HDMI connection description HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data). - Though the HDD & DVD Recorder uses a HDMI cable (not supplied), the HDD & DVD Recorder outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV. - 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. CONNECTING & SETTING UP 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. CONNECTING TO AV 3 IN, DV INPUT JACK This allows you to connect your HDD & DVD Recorder to other external devices and view or record their outputs. · Case 1 : Connecting a VCR, Set-Top Box(STB), DVD player or Camcorder to the AV 3 IN jacks · Case 2 : Connecting a DV Device to the DV IN jack Case 1 : Connecting a VCR, Set-Top Box(STB), DVD player or Camcorder to the AV 3 IN jacks Connecting a VCR or external device to AV 3 IN jacks of the HDD & DVD Recorder.
