NOTE

 

 

 

 

HDMI (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 DVD recorder transmits

 

 

 

a digital video and audio signal and

 

 

 

displays a vivid picture on a TV having an

 

 

 

HDMI input jack.

AUDIO (red and

white) OUT jacks on the rear of the DVD Recorder to

the AUDIO (red and white) IN jacks 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.

 

To watch through the HDMI output, set

 

the digital audio output to PCM.

 

CAUTION

See page 33~34.

 

Depending on the HDMI device (TV/HDMI Receiver) you use, audio may not be supported. If TV does not support Dolby digital/DTS, Audio output is not available when you set Digital output as Bitstream

or select DTS On in Audio setup menu. In this case, set the digital audio output to PCM or DTS off.

- 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 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 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.
