Samsung DVD-HR757/XEH manual Recording, Playing, Editing a recorded disc

Getting Started

Using a DVD-R

Formatting disc is unnecessary and only V Mode Recording is supported. You can play these type of discs on various DVD components only when they have been finalised.

Using a DVD+RW

•For an unused DVD+RW disc, a message that asks whether to format a disc or not. If you select “DVD+RW”, formatting will be started.

•With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode).

Using a DVD+R

This type of disc will be formatted automatically.

M You can only use either the VR or Video mode on a DVD-RW, but not both at the same time.

You can format a DVD-RW to V or VR mode using Disc Manager. It should be noted that the disc’s data will be lost when changing formats.

Step 3: Recording

There are two different recording methods, Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as follows:

Recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (standard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. When recording is set in the FR mode, the best quality picture is recorded with regards to the remaining time on the disc.

Step 4: Playing

You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback.

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

finalise recording on DVD-RW/-R discs in Video mode. The chapter’s length (interval between chapters) varies according to the recording mode.

Step 5: Editing a recorded disc

Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The HDD & DVD RECORDER supports many different edit functions, possible only with DVDs and HDD.

With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate various edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title.

Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/-RW in VR mode, HDD)

With this HDD & DVD RECORDER, you can create a new playlist on a disc and edit it without the original, pre-existing recording.

Step 6: Finalising & Playing on other DVD components

To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc.

When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode

DVD discs recorded in VR mode can only be played back in DVD recorders, not players.

When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode

The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this HDD & DVD RECORDER. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised.

To enable recording on the disc again, the disc must be unfinalised.

When using a DVD±R disc

You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this HDD & DVD RECORDER. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.

M You can finalise the disc automatically using EZ Record function. (See page 32)
