Connecting & Setting Up

MHDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Since HDMI is based on DVI, it is completely compatible with DVI. The only difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI supports multi-channel audio. Using HDMI, the HDD & DVD RECORDER transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.

HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

-Though the HDD & DVD RECORDER uses a HDMI cable (not supplied), the HDD & DVD RECORDER outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

-If 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 HDD & 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 HDD & DVD RECORDER to your TV.

What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted 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.
