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.

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.

the digital audio output to PCM. See page 33~34.

What is the HDCP?

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.

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.
