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

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

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable.

Using HDMI, the DVD and VCR 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 and digital audio data(LPCM or Bit Stream).

-Even though the DVD Recorder & VCR records analog audio and video, with HDMI the analog signal is converted to digital signal and is sent to the TV. Both DVD and VCR playback is possible through HDMI.

-If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth 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 & VCR) 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 digital-to-analog conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR 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.
