CD-R MP3/WMA discs
When playing CD-R/MP3 or WMA discs, please
follow all the recommendations for CD-R above,
plus the comments below:
Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or
JOLIET format.
ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are
compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows,
and with Apple's Mac. These two formats are the
most widely used.
When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not
exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma"
as the file extension.
General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma.
When composing your title, make sure that you
use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the
name, and avoid the use of special characters
including: (.,/,\,=,+).
Use a decompression transfer rate of at least
128Kbps when recording MP3 files.
• Up to 8 music folders can be displayed at a time.
If you have more than 8 folders on a disc, press
the † button to display them.

Use a decompression transfer rate of at least

Sound quality with WMA files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires
an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion
to WMA format, of at least 64Kbps and up to
192Kbps. Conversely, files with decompression
rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be
played properly.
Do not try recording copyright protected MP3
files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends
on the rate of compression/decompression you
choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires
an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion
to MP3 format, of at least 128Kbps and up to
160Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like
192Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound
quality. Conversely, files with decompression
rates below 128Kbps will not be played properly.

Certain "securized" files are encrypted and code
protected to prevent illegal copying. These files
are of the following types: Windows MediaTM
(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and
SDMITM (registered trade mark of The SDMI
Foundation). You cannot copy such files.
Important :
The above recommendations cannot be taken as
a guarantee that the DVD-VCR will play MP3
recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality.
You should note that certain technologies and
methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent
optimal playback of these files on your DVD
player (degraded sound quality and in some
cases, inability of the player to read the files).

Troubleshooting Guide (VCR)
Reference
Before contacting the Samsung after-sales service, perform the following simple checks.
If you are unable to solve the problem after reading the below instructions, note:
• The model and serial number on the rear of your DVD-VCR
• The warranty information
• A clear description of the problem
Then contact your nearest SAMSUNG after-sales service.
Problem
Solution
No power
◆ Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet.
◆ Have you pressed the STANDBY/ON button?
You cannot insert a video cassette
◆ A video cassette can only be inserted with the window
side up and the safety tab facing you.
The television programme
was not recorded
◆ Check the DVD-VCR aerial connections.
◆ Is the DVD-VCR tuner properly set?
◆ Check if the safety tab is intact on the cassette.
Timer recording was unsuccessful
◆ Was the STANDBY/ON button pressed to activate the timer?
◆ Re-check the recording start/stop time settings.
◆ If there was a power failure or interruption during timer
recording, the recording will have been cancelled.
No playback picture or the picture
is distorted
◆ Check to see if you are using a prerecorded tape.
You cannot see normal broadcasts
◆ Check the tuner or external setting. It should be on tuner.
◆ Check the TV or VCR aerial connections.
Noise bars or streaks on playback
◆ Press the TRK (…
… or † ) buttons to minimize this effect.
When the √II button is pressed
during playback, the still picture
has severe “noise bars” streaks
◆ A still picture may have “noise bars”, depending on the
condition of the tape. Press the TRK (…
… or †) buttons
during slow motion to minimize this effect.
Video Head Cleaning
◆ If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video heads may need
cleaning. This is not a common problem and unless it appears, the heads
should not be cleaned. When cleaning the video heads, read all instructions
provided with the head cleaning cassette. Incorrect head cleaning can
permanently damage the video heads.
If when tuning in your TV to the
DVD-VCR TV does not find the Screen
or the pattern when found suffers from
interference, it may be due to the DVD-VCR
output channel clashing with the normal
TV transmissions in your area.
To prevent this you will need to change the
DVD-VCR output channel in the following way
1. Remove the aerial input plug from the socket marked (aerial symbol) on
the rear of the DVD-VCR.
2. Carry out the instructions “Tuning Your Television for the DVD-VCR” (see
page 17).
3. Carry out the instructions “Setting the DVD-VCR output Channel” (see
page 24), move the channel number several channels down from the
original setting.(example: from 36 to 37).
4. Replace the aerial plug into the socket marked (aerial symbol) on the rear
of the DVD-VCR.
5. Re-tune your TV to the DVD-VCR again by following instructions “Tuning
Your Television for the DVD-VCR” (see page 17).
6. If the problem still exists repeat steps 1 to 5 moving several more
channels away from the original setting.
