Step 1: Select the disc type or HDD

Please check available disc type before recording.

SAMSUNG DVD-HR773A - Step 1: Select the disc type or HDD - 6

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. You can record files directly to the built-in HDD or edit a recorded file.

Step 2: Format the disc to start recording

Unlike a VCR, the HDD & DVD RECORDER automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc.

Using the HDD

Formatting unnecessary.

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

This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format (V mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to initialize a disc or not. If you select "DVD-VR" or "DVD-V", initialising will be started.

You can play a Video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing.

Using a DVD-R

Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these types of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

Using a DVD+RW

For an unused DVD+RW disc, a message asks whether to format the disc. If you select "DVD+RW", formatting will begin.

Using a DVD+R

This type of disc will be formatted automatically.

Step 3: Recording

There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as follows:

Recording modes: XP (high quality), SP (standard quality), LP (long recording), and EP (extended mode). When recording in FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded based on the remaining disc time.

Step 4: Playing

You can select the title you want to play from a displayed menu and immediately start playback.

A DVD consists of sections called titles, and sub-sections called chapters.

Step 5: Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than with conventional video tapes. The HDD & DVD RECORDER supports many edit functions possible only with DVDs and HDD.

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, HDD)

With this HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without altering the original, pre-existing 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

DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this HDD & DVD RECORDER. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised.

To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unfinalised.

When using a DVD±R disc

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

SAMSUNG DVD-HR773A - Step 6: Finalising &amp; Playing on other DVD components - 1

- You can finalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 48)

To use an HDMI cable (not supplied), make the Audio/Video connection before plugging in the power cord or after finishing the “Plug & Play Setup.” Do not connect the HDMI cable while the “Plug & Play Setup” is progressing. ■ Progressive scan automatically activates when HDMI is connected. If TV/HDMI Receiver does not support DTS, Audio output is not available when you play disc in DTS format. - You can switch from the HDMI output to other output only in stop mode. If you use an HDMI cable to connect a Samsung TV to the HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can operate the recorder using the TV remote control. (This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs that support Anynet+(HDMI-CEC).) (See page 39) - Please check the Anynet+ logo (If your TV has an Anynet+ logo, then it supports Anynet+ function.)

■ 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 HDD & 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 HDD & DVD RECORDER uses a HDMI cable (not supplied), the HDD & 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 HDD & 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 HDD & 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.

UNRECORDABLE PICTURES

Video with copy protection cannot be recorded on this HDD & DVD RECORDER.

When the HDD & 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, DVD-RAM, HDD.

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 HDD & 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.
