First, finish all editing and record-ing operations, then finalize the disc.When using a DVD-RW disc in VR ModeAlthough finalizing is generally unnecessary whenplaying 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 ModeThe disc should be finalized first to enable playbackon anything other than this recorder. No more editingor recording can be made on the disc once it hasbeen finalized. When using a DVD±R discYou should finalize the disc to play it on a componentother than this recorder.

There are two different recording methods: DirectRecording and Timer Recording. Timer recording isclassified as a Date : Once, Daily or Weekly.Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan-dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), andEP (extended mode).Editing on discs is easier than conventional videotapes.

English - 25ConnectionsConnecting to a TV with DVI JackUsing an HDMI-DVI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the DVIIN terminal of your TV.Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and white) OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder to theAUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV. Turn on the DVD Recorder and TV.Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder appears on your TVscreen. Audio/Video CableRed White■ To change HDMI output resolution, see page 39.■ HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission ofvideo and audio data with just a single connector. SinceHDMI is based on DVI, it is completely compatible withDVI. The only difference between HDMI and DVI is thatHDMI supports multi-channel audio.Using HDMI, the DVD recorder transmits a digital videoand audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV hav-ing anHDMI input jack. ■ HDMI connection descriptionHDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digi-tal audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).- Even though the DVD recorder records analog audio andvideo, with HDMI the analog signal is converted to digital,and a pure digital signal is sent 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 aTV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter(in the DVD Recorder) or an analog-to-digital converter (inthe TV) is required. During this conversion, the picturequality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMItechnology is superior because it requires no D/A conver-sion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD recorder toyour TV. ■ What is the HDCP?HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is asystem for protecting DVD content outputted via HDMIfrom being copied. It provides a secure digital link betweena video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV,projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source deviceto prevent unauthorized copies from being made.NOTE00995G-VR345-XAA-Eng14-30 2006.4.10 2:50 PM Page 25
