Disc Specifications

DVD-Video
A digital versatile disc (DVD) can contain up to 135minutes of images, 8 audio languages and 32 subtitle languages. It is equipped with MPEG-2 picture compression and Dolby 3D surround, allowing you to enjoy vivid and clear theater quality images in the comfort of your own home. When switching from the first layer to the second layer of a double-layered DVD Video disc, there may be momentary distortion in the image and sound. This is not a malfunction of the unit. Once a DVDR/DVD-RW(V) recorded is finalized, it is playable in a standard DVD player.
DVDR Disc Playback and Recording
Once a DVDR recorded is finalized, it is playable in a

standard DVD player.

You can record onto the available space on the disc and
perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and programs and erasing programs before finalizing. When programming is erased from a DVDR, that space does not become available. Once an area on a DVDR is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes. This product optimizes the DVDR for each recording. Optimizing is carried out when you start recording after inserting the disc or turning on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times. Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the condition of recording. This unit can play back DVDR discs recorded and finalized with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may not be able to play some DVDR discs depending on the disc and the condition of the recording.

Rates), from 80 Kbps to 320 Kbps, the sound may cut in out. Playable bitrate range is from 56Kbps to 320Kbps. The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders. DVD-RAM/RW/R discs that contain MP3 files can be played back.

Troubleshooting (DVD-VIDEO/DVD-RAM/DVDRW/DVDR)
If your product malfunctions, go through the check points below before contacting a Samsung authorized service center,

Problem No power.

Explanation/Solution Check whether the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet. Did you press the power button of your DVD Recorder & VCR. The DVD Recorder & VCR requires some time to initialize after it is turned on. If Quick recording function is set to on, the DVD Recorder & VCR will power on quickly, which enables you to immediately record a desired channel. (See page 41.) Check whether the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet. Did you set the DVD Recorder & VCR channel settings correctly? Check the free space on your DVD-RAM/DVDRW/DVDR disc. Check the antenna cable is connected. Check the recording time, end time and current time settings again. Recording will be cancelled if the power is interrupted due to a power failure or other reason during recording. Check whether the disc is formatted. This product can record on formatted discs only.

Troubleshooting (DVD)

Problem icon appears on the screen. Play mode settings are different from the settings configured with the Setting menu. Cannot change the aspect ratio. No audio output. No video or audio output. The disc tray is ejected after 2 to 5 seconds. Angle operation does not work during playback of a DVD disc. The disc revolves, but no image or bad quality images are output.
Explanation/Solution You cannot use the operation or function due to one of the following reasons: (1) Your DVD disc does not support the feature (for example, angles) (2) You've requested a title, chapter, or scan time that is out of the correct range. The disc does not support all the selected functions. In this case, some settings you configure on the Setting menu may not work properly.
Aspect ratio is fixed for DVD disc.
Check whether you selected correct digital output options in the Audio Output Options menu. Did you move your DVD Recorder & VCR suddenly from a cold place to a warm place? In this case, do not connect the plug to the power outlet and wait for two hours. Then insert the disc and try to play back again. It will work properly when condensation has evaporated. Angle operation is available only when the disc contains images captured at different angles.
