▌ Step 2 : Format the disc to start recording

The DVD 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 video and create a playlist and edit video in a specifi c sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD±RW/+R

• When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is fi rst inserted, the message “Uninitialised Disc. Do you want to initialise this disc?” will be displayed. If you select Yes, initialising 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 diff erence between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format

(VR mode).

Using a DVD-R

Formatting a disc is unnecessary and only Video Mode

Recording is supported. You can play this type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been fi nalised.

■ You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a

DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.

■ You can change the DVD-RW format to another format by reinitialising. It should be noted that the disc's data will be lost when changing formats.

▌ 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 fi nalise 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.

▌ Step 5 : Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The

DVD Recorder supports many diff erent 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/DVD-RW in VR mode)

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

Remote Control Batteries for Remote

Control (AAA Size)

▌ Step 6 : Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, fi nalising may be necessary. First, fi nish all editing and recording operations, then fi nalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although fi nalising is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a fi nalised disc should be used for playback.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be fi nalised fi rst to enable playback on anything other than this DVD Recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been fi nalised.

When using a DVD±R disc

You should fi nalise the disc to play it on a component other than this DVD Recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been fi nalised.

■ You can fi nalise automatically using EZ REC MODE.

■ HDMI (High Defi nition 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 diff erence 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 an HDMI input jack.

■

HDMI connection description

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 (High-bandwidth

Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.

■

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-todigital 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?

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.

Connecting to AV3 IN, DV input jack

This allows you to connect your DVD Recorder to other external devices and view or record their outputs.

• Case 1 : Connecting a VCR, Set-Top Box(STB), DVD player or

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. 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.

▌ About INFO Button

4. Press the OK button.

If the timer settings overlap

The fi rst programme has priority. After recording of the fi rst programme is complete, the second programme starts being recorded.

5. Turn the power off to fi nish the Timer Recording setting. Timer Recording will not work when the power is on.

Editing

This section introduces basic functions of DVD editing and explains both edit functions for the recording on a disc and edit functions for the entire disc.

• Title List

A title is a section of recorded video and audio. Title List shows a list to help you select a title. Since the title list consists of the information on stream that is actually recorded, if one title is deleted, that title cannot be played again.

• Playlist

This refers to a unit of playback, which is made by selecting a desired scene in the entire Title List.

When one playlist is played, only the scene selected by the user will play and then stop. Since only the information necessary for playing a desired scene is included in a playlist, even if that playlist is deleted, the original stream will not be deleted.

Recording or editing might not be completed if an error, such as a sudden power failure occurs.

Please be aware that a material that has been damaged is unable to be retrieved to its original content.
