Getting Started
Only JPEG files with the ".jpg", ".JPG" extension can be
used.
The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders.
Maximum size of progressive JPEG is 3M pixels.
MOTION JPEG is not supported.
Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc.
If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above disc,
as the disc may not play back.
If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed session,
you may experience a delay in the early play-back time, and
all recorded files may not play.
Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with this unit,
depending on the device which was used to burn them.
For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from CDs for
your personal use, playability may vary depending on con-
tents and discs.
DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording
Once a DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it
becomes DVD-Video.
You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and
programs and erasing programs before finalizing.
When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space
does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is
recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording,
whether the recording is erased or not.
It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording
management information after recording finishes.
This product optimizes the DVD-R for each recording.
Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after
inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the
disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too
many times.
Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the con-
dition of recording.
This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and finalized
with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not be able to
play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the con-
dition of the recording.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-RW
discs in both Video and VR Modes.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalized, you can-
not perform additional recording.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized, it
becomes DVD-Video.
In both modes, playback can be performed before and after
finalization, but additional recording, deleting and editing can
not be performed after finalization.
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then record in
V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful when exe-
cuting Format because all the recorded data may be lost.
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first ini-
tialized.
Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use
discs fixed with exposed tape adhesive or leftover
peeled-off stickers.)
Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
Do not use discs printed with label printers available
on the market.
Do not load warped or cracked discs.
Disc Storage
Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on
these discs is highly vulnerable to the environment.
Do not keep under direct sunlight.
Keep in a cool ventilated area.
Store vertically.
Keep in a clean protection jacket.
If you move your DVD Recorder & VCR suddenly from
a cold place to a warm place, condensation may gen-
erate on the operating parts and lens and cause
abnormal disc playback. In this case, do not connect
the plug to the power outlet and wait for two hours.
Then insert the disc and try to play back again. It will
work properly when condensation has evaporated.

How to use the DVD
Recorder & VCR
Step 1 Select the disc type
Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
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.
Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts format-
ting 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 compo-
nents. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.
Using a DVD-R
This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video for-
mat. 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.
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 reinitializing.
It should be noted that the disc's data will
be lost when changing formats.
Note
Step 3 Recording
Step 4 Playing
Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
You can select the title you want to play in a dis-
played 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 finalize
recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode.
The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)
varies according to the recording mode.
There are two different recording methods: Direct
Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is
classified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.
Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-
dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and
EP (extended mode).
Editing on discs is easier than conventional video
tapes. The recorder supports many different edit func-
tions, 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.

Step 6
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finaliz-
ing 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 compo-
nent, 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. You cannot edit or record on
the disc once it has been finalized.

Step 1: Connecting the Antenna Cable
There are several ways to connect your DVD Recorder & VCR. Select one of the following antenna connections that best
suits you below.
Antenna + DVD Recorder & VCR + TV : No Cable box
You can record non-scrambled channels by selecting the channel on the DVD Recorder & VCR. Also use this
method if you watch channels without cable box.
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 Recorder &
VCR.
Note
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 Recorder &
VCR.
