▌Connecting to a TV with DVI Jack

Using the 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.

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

■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.
