The first press of the DVI SEL. button, brings up the current resolution.

The second press allows you to change the DVI output resolution.

• The specific resolution of DVI output may not work depending on your TV.

Important Note

• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices.
Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having a DVI jack.
- Description of the DVI connection

DVI-D connector : digital signal only.

DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.

• Though the player uses a DVI-I cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
• If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protection), snow noise or blue screen appears on the screen.
• Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD and so on.
• Why does Samsung use DVI?

Analog TVs require an analog video signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in theDVD 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.

DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

What is the HDCP?

HDCP(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via DVI 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.

PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUTPUT (525p)

"CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE FULY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE, IN CASE OF 525 PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH THE CONNECTION TO THE 'STANDARD DEFINITION' OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR TV SET COMPATIBILITY WITH THIS MODEL 525p DVD PLAYER, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER."

MP3/WMA Playback

CD-R MP3/WMA discs

When you record MP3 or WMA files on CD-R, please refer to the following.

• 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. This format is the most widely used.

• When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not exceed 8 characters, and enter ".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 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.

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

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.

Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose.

Getting CD audio 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.

Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media™ (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI™ (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 player 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)
• This unit can play a maximum of 3000 files and 300 folders per disc.
