CONNECTIONS  
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.

MP3/WMA file  
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.  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least  
64Kbps when recording WMA files.  
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.  
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.  
- When naming your MP3 or WMA files, do not  
exceed 8 characters, and enter “.mp3, .wma”  
as the file extension.  
General name format : 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: (.,/,\,=,+).  
Conversely, files with decompression rates  
below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be  
played properly.  
- Do not try recording copyright protected  
MP3 files.  
- Use a decompression transfer rate of at least  
128 Kbps when recording 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.  
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  
- 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).  
Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound  
quality. Conversely, files with decompression  
rates below 128 Kbps will not be played  
properly.

300 folders per disc.
