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.

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.
