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.

Audio CD

An audio disc on which 44.1kHz PCM Audio is recorded. Plays CD-DA format audio CD-R and CD-RW discs. This
unit may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the condition of the recording.

CD-R/-RW

MP3 CD-R/-RW Only CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded with

ISO9660 or JOLIET format can be played back
Only MP3 files with the "mp3" or "MP3" extension can

be used.

DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
Recording and playback can be performed on DVDRW discs in both Video and VR Modes.
For MP3 files recorded with a VBR(Variable Bit
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.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode or Video mode
is finalized, you cannot perform additional recording.
Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalized,

it becomes DVD-Video.
