How to use the DVD
Recorder & VCR
Step 1 Select the disc type
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.
Step 2
Format the disc to start recording
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/+R
•
When an unused DVD±RW/+R disc is first inserted,
the message "Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to ini-
tialize this disc?" will be displayed.
If you select Yes, initializing will be start. DVD-RW
discs can be formatted in either DVD-Video format
(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR
mode)
•
With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
Using a DVD-R
Initializing disc is unnecessary and only V mode
Recording is supported.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 format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode
using disc manager.
It should be noted that the disc's data will be
lost when changing formats.

Step 6
Finalizing & Playing on
other DVD components
To play your DVD on other DVD players, finalizing
may be necessary. First, finish all editing and record-
ing 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 3 Recording
Step 4 Playing
Step 5
Editing a recorded disc
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 sec-
tions 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.
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.
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 changing the
original recording.

Step 1: Connecting the Antenna Cable
There are several ways to connect your DVD Recorder & VCR. Select the antenna connection 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 a 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.

■ HDMI (High Definition 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 difference 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 hav-
ing anHDMI input jack.
■ HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digi-
tal audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Even though the DVD recorder records analog audio and
video, 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 a
TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter
(in the DVD Recorder) 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. HDMI
technology is superior because it requires no D/A conver-
sion 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.
