How to use the DVD

Recorder-VCR

Step 1

Select the disc type

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 a recording without any changes, 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 recording on a disc.

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

(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to format in VR

Mode or not is displayed. You can play a video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalized.

Note

You can only use one format on a DVD-RW.

You can change the DVD-RW format to another format. It should be noted that the data of the disc may be lost when changing formats.

English - 9

Step 3 Recording

There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP

(high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode.

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, DVD-R/DVD-RW discs(in

Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to the recording mode when finalized.

Step 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 on that type of component.

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.

To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalized.

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.

Step 5 Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than 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.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode)

With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without the change of the original recording.

• Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan doubles the amount of video beam lines fed to your TV, resulting in a more stable, flicker-free, and clear image than interlaced video. The progressive scan video output jack is used in progressive output mode. This is only available with TVs that support progressive scan.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. If you experience 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that you switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions regarding TV set compatibility with this unit, please contact our customer service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

20 - English

Step 6 : Connecting the Power Cord

Step 7 : Preparing the

Remote Control

After all connections are complete, plug the power cord in the wall outlet.

“AUTO” in the front panel display flickers. This means that the current time is being set automatically (Auto Program) through the antenna under connection. The setup may take several minutes.

When it normally operates, the current time is automatically set and displayed in the front panel display.

If “- - - -“ appears, however, it means that auto time setting has failed.

In that case, set the current time through the manual clock set, as shown in pages 25~26.

Install Batteries in the Remote Control

• Open the battery cover on the back of the remote.

• Insert two AAA batteries. Make sure that the polarities

(+ and -) are aligned correctly.

• Replace the battery cover.

If the remote does not operate properly:

• Check the polarity + - of the batteries (Dry-Cell)

• Check if the batteries are drained.

• Check if the remote sensor is blocked by obstacles.

• Check if there is any fluorescent lighting nearby.

Dispose of batteries according to local environmental regulations. Do not put them in the household trash.
