Protection  
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording  
This DVD Recorder-VCR can  
allow you to protect the con-  
tents of your discs, as  
Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-  
RW discs in both Video and VR Modes.  
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalized,  
you cannot perform additional recording.  
described below.  
Cartridge-protected:  
With the write-protect tab  
set in the protect position,  
the contents of the disc cannot be recorded, edited, or  
erased.  
Program-protected: See page 76 “Locking the title  
List”  
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized,  
it becomes DVD-Video.  
In both modes, playback can be performed before and  
after finalization, but additional recording, deleting  
and editing can not be performed after finalization.  
If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then  
record in V Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be care-  
ful when executing Format because all the recorded  
data may be lost.  
A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when  
first initialized.  
Disc-protected: See page 87 “Disc Protection”  
DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs that are incom-  
patible with the DVD-VIDEO format can not be  
played with this product.  
For more information on recording a DVD, consult  
your DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R manufacturer.  
If poor quality DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R discs  
are used, your recordings may fail.  
DVD-RW (VR mode)  
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a  
DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can repeat recording,  
editing, deleting, partial deletion, creation of playlist,  
and etc.  
- A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played  
by existing DVD players.  
Do not use the following discs!  
DVD-RW (Video mode)  
LD, CD-G, CD-I, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, VCD, DVD+R  
and DVD+RW discs should not be used in this product.  
[Note]  
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a  
DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by an  
existing DVD player once it has been finalized.  
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a dif-  
ferent manufacturer's recorder but has not been final-  
ized it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by  
this recorder.  
Disc types that can be played : CD/CD-R/  
CD-RW/MP3/JPEG/DVD-Video/DVD-RAM/ DVD-  
RW/DVD-R. However, if your DVD-RW disc was record-  
ed with another device, it can be played only if it was  
recorded and finalized in video mode.  
Some commercial discs and DVD discs purchased out-  
side your region may not be playable with this prod-  
uct. When these discs are played, either “No disc.” or  
“Please check the regional code.” will be displayed.  
If your DVD-RW disc is an illegal copy or is not in  
DVD video format, it may also not be playable.  
DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording  
DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For  
this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that  
come with cartridges.  
Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even  
if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc  
with the cartridge to ensure correct operation.  
DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to  
avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the  
Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the  
disc, but recording or erasing will not work. Set the  
Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc  
or erase data.  
Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode.  
Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the  
recording.  
You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players  
due to compatibility issues.  
Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be  
played in this unit.  
DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with  
other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with  
these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for  
the player.  
This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car-  
tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on cartridge-  
type discs give better protection to your recordings.  
COPY PROTECTION  
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection.  
Because of this, you should only connect your DVD  
Recorder-VCR directly to your TV, not to a VCR.  
Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from  
copy-protected DVD discs.

nology that is protected by methods claims of certain

Finalizing & Playing on  
other DVD components  
Step 3  
Recording  
Step 6  
There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording  
and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as record-  
ing type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP  
(high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long  
recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the  
recording mode.  
To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalizing may  
be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording opera-  
tions, then finalize the disc.  
When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode  
Although finalizing is generally unnecessary when playing  
the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalized  
disc should be used for playback on that type of component.  
When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode  
The disc should be finalized first to enable playback on any-  
thing other than this recorder. No more editing or recording  
can be made on the disc once it has been finalized.  
To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be  
unfinalized.  
Step 4  
Playing  
When using a DVD-R disc  
You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu  
and then immediately start playback.  
You should finalize the disc to play it on a component other  
than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once  
it has been finalized.  
A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sections,  
called chapters.  
During recording, a title is created between two points where  
you start and stop recording, DVD-R/DVD-RW discs(in  
Video mode) can automatically create chapters according to  
the recording mode when finalized.  
Step 5  
Editing a recorded disc  
Editing on discs is easier than 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 the change of the original recording.

Method 3 : Antenna + DVD  
Recorder-VCR + Cable box +TV :  
Cable box with a few scrambled

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan  
doubles the amount of video beam lines fed to your TV,  
resulting in a more stable, flicker-free, and clear image than  
interlaced video. The progressive scan video output jack is  
used in progressive output mode. This is only available  
with TVs that support progressive scan.  
Consumers should note that not all high definition televi-  
sion sets are fully compatible with this product and may  
cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. If you experi-  
ence 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recom-  
mended that you switch the connection to the ‘standard  
definition’ output. If there are questions regarding TV set  
compatibility with this unit, please contact our customer  
service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG.  
You can record non-scrambled channels by selecting the  
channel on the cable box. You cannot record scrambled  
channels that require a cable box.

Step 7 : Preparing the  
Remote Control  
Step 6 : Connecting  
the Power Cord  
After all connections are complete, plug the power cord  
in the wall outlet.  
Install Batteries in the Remote Control  
Open the battery cover on the back of the remote.  
• Insert two AAA batteries. Make sure that the polarities  
(+ and -) are aligned correctly.  
“AUTO” in the front panel display flickers. This means that  
the current time is being set automatically (Auto Program)  
through the antenna under connection. The setup may take  
several minutes.  
Replace the battery cover.  
If the remote does not operate properly:  
Check the polarity + - of the batteries (Dry-Cell)  
Check if the batteries are drained.  
Check if the remote sensor is blocked by obstacles.  
Check if there is any fluorescent lighting nearby.  
When it normally operates, the current time is automatically  
set and displayed in the front panel display.  
If “- - - -“ appears, however, it means that auto time setting  
has failed.  
In that case, set the current time through the manual clock  
set, as shown in pages 25~26.  
Dispose of batteries according to local environmen-  
tal regulations. Do not put them in the household  
trash.
