Frequently Asked Questions - DVD-V9500 SAMSUNG

What to do if the remote control does not work?
Check the batteries, replace them if necessary. Make sure you are within 6 meters and no obstacle blocks the sensor. If nothing works, remove the batteries, hold a button for several seconds to reset the microprocessor, then reinsert the batteries.
Why does the player not play a disc?
Check that the disc is inserted with the printed side up and is clean. Ensure the disc region code matches the player (usually region 1). Incompatible formats (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, etc.) are not played.
How to record a TV program?
Insert a blank VHS tape with intact safety tab. Select the desired channel, set the recording speed (SP or SLP) with the SPEED button, then press REC. To program a recording, use the PROG menu or the TIMER button.
Why is the picture distorted or scrambled?
Make sure the disc is clean and free of scratches. Check the video connections (HDMI, component, etc.). If using a cassette, clean the video heads with a special cleaning cassette.
How to activate progressive scan?
Connect the player via component or HDMI outputs. In stop mode, press the P.SCAN button on the front panel or set 'Video Output' to 'Component (P-SCAN)' in the Setup menu. Confirm with ENTER when the prompt screen appears.
Can I play MP3 or JPEG files?
Yes, insert a CD-R/RW containing MP3, WMA, or JPEG files. Use the arrow keys to navigate folders and press ENTER to start playback. Files must be in ISO 9660 or Joliet format.
What to do if the parental password is forgotten?
Without a disc in the player, press and hold the HD and CH (v) buttons on the front panel simultaneously for 5 seconds. All settings, including the password, will be reset to factory defaults.
How to set the clock automatically?
Make sure the antenna is connected. In the Setup menu, select 'Clock' then 'Auto Set'. The player will search for a time signal on a channel. You can also manually set the time zone and daylight saving time.
Why is 5.1 sound not output?
5.1 sound requires a Dolby Digital or DTS compatible amplifier connected via the digital coaxial or optical output. Check that the disc contains a 5.1 track and that in the audio setup menu, 'Digital Output' is set to 'Bitstream'.
How to use the A-B repeat function?
During playback, press REPEAT. Select 'A-B' with the ◀/▶ buttons, then press ENTER at the start (A) and end (B) of the segment. Playback will loop between these two points. To cancel, press REPEAT and select 'Off'.

CONNECTIONS

Connecting the Antenna Cable

There are several ways to connect your DVD-VCR. Select one of the following antenna connections that best suits you below.

■ Method 1: Antenna + DVD-VCR + TV: No Cable box
■ Method 2: Antenna + Cable box + DVD-VCR + TV: Cable box with many scrambled channels
■ Method 3: Antenna + DVD-VCR + Cable box + TV: Cable box with a few scrambled channels

- 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-VCR.

- 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-VCR.

- The RF OUT(TO TV) jack of this product sends signals received through the antenna and outputs Audio/Video signals.

HDMI VIDEO Specifications

When you press the HD button on the front panel, 480p, 720p, 1080i are selected in order.

The first press of the HD button on the front panel brings up the current resolution.

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

  • Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.
  • Please refer to the user's manual of your TV.
  • If HDMI or HDMI cable is plugged into TV, the DVD player's output is set to HDMI within 10 seconds.
  • If you set the HDMI output resolution 720p or 1080i, HDMI output provides better picture quality.

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the DVD player 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 player uses a HDMI 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 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 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.

Connection to an Audio System

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 MediaTM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMITM (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-VCR 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-VCR (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.
