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.

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. (See page 86.) Check whether your DVD-RAM/DVDRW/DVDR disc has a sufficient free space. Recording is available on DVD-RAM/DVDRW/DVDR discs only. If a program is copy protected, you cannot record it.
The input is displayed for a while when the power turns on. Cannot record TV programs.
Timer recording does not work properly.

Cannot record.

I pressed the REC button but there is no response. I forget the password for parental lock.
Press and hold the CH ( / ) button on the front panel of your unit for more than 5 seconds with no disc, and then press the POWER OFF/ON button. All settings including password will revert to factory settings. Do not use it if not absolutely required. (Note that this function is available only when there is no disc inserted.) Check whether the disc is inserted correctly with the label facing up. Check the regional code of your DVD disc. This DVD Recorder & VCR cannot playback some types of disc. (See page 5.) Are you watching a program in slow or skip mode? If you are playing a program at a speed other than normal speed, sound is not output. (Except for forward search Playback (Fast1)) Check the connections and initial settings. Check whether the disc is damaged. Clean up the disc, if necessary. Check whether the disc is inserted correctly with the label facing up.
