It is supported by some DVD recorders, but not by many DVD players. Each blank recordable DVD has a unique 64-bit media ID etched in the BCA(Burst Cutting Area). When protected content is recorded onto the disc, it can be encrypted with a 56-bit C2 (Cryptomeria) cipher derived from the media ID. During playback, the ID is read from the BCA and used to generate a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. If the contents of the disc are copied to other media, the ID will be absent or wrong and the data will not be decryptable.

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.)
