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 the recording without making any
changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.
RAM RW R
| Step 2 : Format the disc to start
recording
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 with the 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
• When an unused DVD-RW disc is first inserted, the
message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to initialize this
disc?" will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will begin. A DVD-RW disc
can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (Video
mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode)
Using a DVD-R
When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is
possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this
recorder. However, finalization is necessary to play this
disc on other DVD players.
g You can only use either the VR or Video mode on
a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.
g You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using
disc manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data wilt be lost
when changing formats.
| Step 3 : Recording
There are two different recording methods. Direct Recording
(recording a program you are currently watching) and
Timer Recording. Timer recording is determined as a Date :
MM/DD, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc.. There are 5 recording
modes : XP(high quality mode), SP(standard quality mode),
LP(long recording mode), EP(extended mode) and FR
mode. When using FR mode to record, the picture quality is
determined by the remaining time on the disc.
g You can make a Timer Recording by using the
EPG (Electronic Program Guide). (See page 43)
English - 9
| Step 4 : Playing
To start playback select the title you want to play from the
Title list.
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.
| Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc
Editing on discs is easier than editing on conventional
video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit
functions, possible only with DVDs.
With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various
edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on
a recorded title.
With this recorder, you can create playlists using a DVD-
RAM/DVD-RW in VR mode. Once a playlist is created you
can create/edit a new playlist on the same disc without
changing the original recording.
8tep 6 : Finalizing & Playing on other
DVD components
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. No more editing or recording can
be made on the disc once it has been finalized.
g You can finalize automatically using the EZ REC
MODE. (See page 54)

Using an HDMI-HDMI cable, connect the HDMI OUT jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the RDMI IN jack of
your TV. Turn on your TV, then the DVD Recorder. Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the
HDMI signal from the DVD Recorder appears on your TV screen.
To watch through the HDMI output, set the digital
audio output to PCM. (See page 38)
Depending on the HDMI device(TV/HDMI
Receiver) you use, audio may not be supported.
If your TV does not support Dolby digita!/DTS,
Audio output is not available when you set the
Digital output to Bitstream or select DTS On in
the Audio setup menu. In this case, set the digital
audio ouput to PCM or DTS Off.
If you use an HDMt cable to connect a Samsung

| Connecting to a TV with DVl Jack
Using the HDMI-DVl cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the
DVI iN terminal of your TV.
An HDMI to DVI connection requires a separate audio connection, using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red
and white) OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV.
Turn on your TV, then the DVD Recorder.
Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVl signal from the DVD Recorder appears on your
TV screen.
To set the HDMI output resolution (480p/720p/
1080i), see page 40.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia interface)
HDMI enables you to make a digital video and
audio connection with a single cable.
Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital
video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture
on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI is completely compatible with DV!. The only
difference between HDMI and DVl is that HDMI
supports multi-channel audio.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data
and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- The DVD recorder outputs a pure digita! signal to
the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP
(High bandwidth Digital Content Protection),
snow noise appears on the screen.
g 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 digita! signa! from
the DVD recorder to your TV.
g What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
is a system for protecting DVD content output
via HDMI from being copied, tt 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 recordabte 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.
Disc contents cannot be copied to other media.
