TV
■
To watch through the HDMI output, set the
digital audio output to PCM. (See page 30)
■
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.
CAUTION

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.
■
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data
and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Though the DVD Recorder uses a HDMI cable,
the DVD Recorder outputs only a pure digital
signal to the TV.
- 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/Aconversion 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.
