Frequently Asked Questions - DVD-R125P SAMSUNG

How to connect the DVD recorder to my TV?

Use the supplied SCART cable by connecting the AV1 jack of the recorder to the SCART input of the TV. You can also use HDMI, Component, S-Video or Composite outputs depending on the connections available on your TV. Refer to the manual on pages 17-20 for more details.

What types of discs can I use for recording?

You can record on DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (Video or VR mode) and DVD-R discs. DVD-RAM and DVD-RW are rewritable, while DVD-R is not. Make sure the disc is compatible with your device (see pages 40-41).

How to finalize a disc to play on other players?

Go to the Disc Management menu > Finalize Disc. Confirm the operation. Once finalized, the disc can be played on most DVD players, but you will no longer be able to record or edit on it. For a DVD-RW in VR mode, finalization is not always necessary (pages 86-87).

Why is there no sound?

Check the audio connections (HDMI, optical, coaxial, or analog). Make sure the volume is not muted and that the audio mode (PCM/Bitstream) is correctly set in the Settings > Audio menu. Some discs may not have sound in slow motion or freeze frame mode.

How to set the time and date?

Press MENU, select Settings > Clock Settings. Use the ▲▼ buttons to enter the hour, date and year. Enable automatic setting if you are connected to the antenna. See page 26 of the manual.

Can I record a copy-protected broadcast?

No, protected broadcasts or discs (especially by Macrovision) cannot be recorded. The device detects the protection and prevents recording. Only unprotected content can be copied.

How to use the ShowView function to schedule a recording?

Press the SHOWVIEW button on the remote, enter the 4 or 6 digit code of the program (available in TV magazines), then confirm. The recording is programmed automatically. See page 50.

What to do if the remote control does not work?

Check that the batteries are not dead and that they are inserted with the correct polarity. Make sure no obstacle is blocking the infrared sensor. Check that the TV/DVD selector is set to DVD. If the problem persists, reset the remote control by removing the batteries and reinserting them.

How to clean the disc and the unit?

For the disc, wipe it in a straight line from the center to the edge with a soft cloth. Do not use chemicals. For the unit, unplug the device and clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use benzene or thinner.

Can I play MPEG4 files on this device?

Yes, the device plays MPEG4 files contained in .avi, .divx files on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW/RAM. Supported codecs include DivX 3.11, 4.x, 5.x, DivX-Pro (without QPEL or GMC). Subtitles .smi, .srt, .sub, .psb, .txt, .ass are also supported (page 67).

General Features

The DVD Recorder allows you to record and play high quality digital video on DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs. You can record and edit digital images on DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs as if they were VCR tapes.

High quality digital audio and video recording and playback

Selectable Recording Mode

You can set your recorder to one of four different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP (6Hr or 8Hr) mode yields the most recording time, while LP and SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording, and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording.

Automated Quality Adjustment for Timer Recording

If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted automatically so that all video for the scheduled time can be recorded onto the free disc space. (See page 48.)

Creating a DVD video title using DVD-RW/DVD-R disc

How to use the DVD Recorder

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 recording without any change, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R.

RAM

Step 2: Format the disc to start recording.

Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting 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 and edit images 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 components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. 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 finalised.

NOTE

• 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.

Step 3: Recording

There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as a Date: Once (dd/mm(MON)), Every Day, MON-SAT, MON-FRI, Every SAT, etc. Recording mode: XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4: Playing

You can select the title you want to play from a displayed menu and then immediately start playback. A DVD consists of sections called titles, and subsections called chapters. During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording. Chapters will be created automatically when you finalise recording on DVD-R / DVD-RW discs in Video mode. The chapter's length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode.

Step 5: Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than on conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, 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 6: Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

Although finalising is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalised disc should be used for playback.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised 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 finalised.

When using a DVD-R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.

NOTE

To change HDMI output resolution, see page 37. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that enables 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 having an HDMI input jack.

HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

• Though the DVD recorder uses an HDMI cable, the DVD recorder outputs only a pure digital signal 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 conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD recorder to your TV.

What is 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.

Connecting to AV3 IN, DV input jack

This allows you to connect your DVD Recorder to other external devices and view or record their outputs.

• Case 1: Connecting a VCR, Set-Top Box (STB), DVD recorder, or Camcorder to the AV3 IN jacks
• Case 2: Connecting a DV Device to the DV IN jack

Case 1: Connecting a VCR, Set-Top Box (STB), DVD recorder, or Camcorder to the AV3 IN jacks

Connecting a VCR or external device to the AV3 IN jacks of the DVD Recorder.

You can record from connected equipment (VCR, STB, DVD recorder, or Camcorder).

NOTE

AV3 input selection will be done automatically. If the input is not selected automatically, use the INPUT button to select the proper input. - Copy-protected content cannot be recorded.

Case 2: Connecting a Camcorder to the DV IN jack

If your digital camcorder has a DV output jack, connect it to the DV input jack of your DVD Recorder.

NOTE

If the input is not selected automatically, use the INPUT button to select the proper input.

Unrecordable video

Video with copy protection cannot be recorded on this DVD Recorder.

When the DVD Recorder receives a copy guard signal while recording, recording stops and the following message appears on the screen.

Concerning Copy Control Signals

TV broadcasts that contain copy control signals may have one of the following three signal types, Copy-Free, Copy-Once and Copy-Never. If you want to record a copy-once type programme, use DVD-RW with CPRM in VR Mode and DVD-RAM.

Media\Signal type	Copy-Free	Copy-Once	Copy-Never
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1)	O	-	-
DVD-RW(Ver.1.1) with CPRM
VR mode	O	\( O^* \)	-
Video mode	O		-
DVD-R	O		-
DVD-RAM(Ver.2.0)	O	\( O^* \)	-

Once "Copy Once" has been recorded, recording cannot be done anymore.

• Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) CPRM is a mechanism that ties a recording to the media on which it is recorded. It is supported by some DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA. When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.

About INFO Key

The INFO function allows you to view the current status and progress of playback and recording. Depending on the disc type and status, the displayed screen may be different.
