appears on your TV screen.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

the DVD Recorder outputs only a pure digital

 

 

 

 

signal to the TV.

Why does Samsung use HDMI?

 

Case 2 : Connecting to a TV

 

 

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio

 

 

 

signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data

 

with DVI Jack

 

 

transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a

 

 

 

digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD Recorder)

 

 

 

 

Using the DVI Adapter Cable (not included), connect

 

 

or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is

 

the HDMI OUT jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder

 

 

required. During this conversion, the picture

 

to the DVI IN jack of your TV.

 

 

quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss.

Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and

 

 

HDMI technology is superior because it requires

 

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

 

 

no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal
