How to use the DVD

Recorder

Step 1

Select the disc type

Step 2

Format the disc to start recording

This unit can record on the following types of discs.

If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc

or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a

rewritable DVD

±

RW or DVD-RAM type disc.

If you want to save the recording without making

any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD±R.

The recorder automatically starts formatting when

an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the

preparation of disc recording.

Using a DVD-RAM

This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video

Recording format (VR mode). You can edit

recorded video, create a playlist or edit video in a

specific sequence according to your requirements.

Using a DVD±RW/+R

•

When an unused DVD

±

RW/+R disc is first inserted,

the message “Uninitialized Disc. Do you want to

initialize this disc?” will be displayed.

If you select Yes, initializing will begin. A DVD-RW

disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video format

(Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR

mode)

•

There are no differences between DVD-Video format

(Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR

mode) with DVD+RW discs.

Using a DVD-R

When using a DVD-R disc, only V mode recording is

possible and no initialization is needed to play it on this

recorder. However, finalization is necessary to play this

disc on other DVD players.

Before Reading the

Instruction Manual

About the use of this Instruction Manual

Step 6

Finalizing & Playing on

other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components,

finalizing may be necessary. First, finish all editing and

recording operations, 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.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be fi nalized fi rst to enable playback

on other DVD players. No more editing or recording

can be made on the disc once it has been finalized.

When using a DVD±R disc

The disc should be finalized first to enable playback

on other DVD players. No more editing or recording

can be made on the disc once it has been fi nalized.

Step 3

Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct

Recording (recording a program you are currently

watching) and Timer Recording. Timer recording is

determined as a Date : MM/DD, MON-FRI, Every

SAT, etc. There are 5 recording modes: XP (high

quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long

recording mode), EP (extended mode) and FR

mode. When using FR mode to record, the picture

quality is determined by the remaining time on the

disc.

Step 4

Playing

To start playback select the title you want to play from

the title list.

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. Chapters will be

created automatically when you finalize recording on

DVD-R/DVD-RW discs in Video mode.

You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and

edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.

The chapter’s length (interval between chapters)

varies according to the recording mode.

Step 5

Editing a recorded disc

Editing a DVD disc is easier than editing on

conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many

different editing functions, possible only with DVDs.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can perform

various editing functions, such as delete, copy,

Step 2 : Connecting HDMI/DVI to a TV

If your TV has a HDMI/DVI input, connect the HDMI/DVI cable to the TV. You will enjoy the best quality image and

sound.

Connecting to a TV with an HDMI Jack

Using an HDMI-HDMI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the HDMI

IN jack of your TV. Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the HDMI signal from the DVD Recorder

appears on your TV screen.

HDMI OUT

Caution

■

To watch through the HDMI output, set the digital audio

output to PCM. (See page 34-35)

■

Depending on the HDMI device(TV/HDMI Receiver) you use,

audio may not be supported. If your TV does not support

Dolby digital/DTS, Audio output is not available when you set

the Digital output to Bitstream or select DTS On in the Audio

setup menu. In this case, set the digital audio output to PCM

or DTS Off.

■

If you use an HDMI cable to connect a Samsung TV to the

DVD recorder, you can operate the recorder using the TV

remote control. (This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs

that support Anynet + (HDMI-CEC). ) (See pages 31)

■

Please check the logo (If you TV has an

logo,then it supports Anynet+ function.)

Connecting to a TV with a DVI Jack

Using an HDMI-DVI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the DVI

IN terminal of your TV.

An HDMI to DVI connection requires a separate audio connection, using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red

and white) OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV.

Turn on the DVD Recorder and TV.

Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder appears on your TV

screen.

HDMI OUT

■

To set the HDMI output resolution(480p/720p/1080i)(see

page 36)

■

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio

connection with a single cable.

Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and

audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an

HDMI input jack.

■

HDMI is completely compatible with DVI. The only

difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI supports

multi-channel audio.

■

HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and

digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

- The DVD recorder outputs a pure digital signal to the TV.

- If your TV does not support HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital

Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.

■

Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal.

However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a

TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter

(in the DVD Recorder) or an analog-to-digital converter (in

the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture

quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI

technology is superior because it requires no D/A

conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD

recorder to your TV.

■

What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a

system for protecting DVD content output via HDMI from

being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a

video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV,

projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device

to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.

1. Connect Component video cables(not supplied)

between the COMPONENT OUT(Y,PB,PR) jacks on

DVD Recorder and COMPONENT IN(Y,PB,PR) jacks

on your TV (or AV amplifier). This connection outputs

the 480i or 480p resolution to your TV

2. If the connected TV supports Progressive Scan,

press the P.SCAN button on the front of the DVD

Recorder to enjoy best quality video.

Pressing the P.SCAN button switches Progressive

(480p) / Interlace (480i) scan mode on.

• You will enjoy the best quality accurate color

reproduction images. Component video separates the

picture element into black and white(Y), blue(P

B), and

red(PR) signals to present clear and clean images.

• Connect the audio cables(white and red) between the

AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Recorder and AUDIO

IN jacks on your TV(or AV amplifier).

(See pages 23-25)

■

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive

scan doubles the amount of video lines fed to your

TV, resulting in a clearer, more stable, and flicker

free image than interlaced video. The component

output jack of the DVD player can be used for

progressive output mode, which is only available

with TVs that support progressive scan.

■

Progressive Scan Output (480p).

Not all high definition television sets are fully

compatible with this product. If the 480p progressive

scan picture is not satisfactory, press the P.SCAN

button on the unit to switch to the Interlace mode.

If there are questions regarding TV set compatibility

with this model, please contact our customer

service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

■

The Component jacks will not output video

resolutions above 480p. To view 720p and 1080i,

connect the DVD-R155 to your TV an HDMI-HDMI

cable. With HDMI connected, press the P.SCAN

button to alternate between all available resolutions.
