This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Note to CATV system installer : This reminder is provided to call CATV system installer's attention to Article

820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part I) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Caution : FCC regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void the user's authority to operate it.

Caution : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Attention : Pour eviter les chocs electriques, introduire la lame le plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.

Important : One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs is an infringement of U.S. copyright laws. Certain Canadian programs may be copyrighted and any unauthorized recording in whole or in part may be a violation of these rights.

Connecting the Antenna Cable

There are several ways to connect your DVD-VCR. Select one of the following antenna connections that best suits you below.

■

■

Method 1: Antenna + DVD-VCR + TV: No Cable box

Method 2: Antenna + Cable box + DVD-VCR +TV: Cable box with many scrambled channels

■ Method 3: Antenna + DVD-VCR + Cable box +TV: Cable box with a few scrambled channels

- If you are using an off-air antenna that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, use an external antenna connector (300-75 ohm adaptor: not supplied) to connect the antenna to the

DVD-VCR.

- If you have two separate antennas (one VHF and the other UHF), use a UHF/VHF combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops) to connect the antenna to the

DVD-VCR.

- The RF OUT(TO TV) jack of this product sends signals received through the antenna and outputs Audio/Video signals.

Method1: Antenna + DVD-VCR + TV: No Cable box

You can record non-scrambled channels by selecting the channel on the DVD-VCR.

Also use this Method if you watch channels without cable box.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.

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 connection description

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

- Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital C ontent P rotection), 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 player) 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.
