Connecting to a TV with a DVI Jack
Using an HDMI-DVI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT terminal on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR
to the DVI IN terminal of your TV.
An HDMI to DVI connection requires a separate audio connection, using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO
(red and white) OUT (AV OUT) terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR to the AUDIO (red and white) IN
terminals of your TV. Turn on the DVD Recorder & VCR and TV.
Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR appears
on your TV screen.

1080i), see page 34.
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI enables you to make a digital video and
audio connection with a single cable.
Using HDMI, the DVD and VCR player transmits a
digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid
picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI is completely compatible with DVI.
The only difference between HDMI and DVI is that
HDMI supports multi-channel audio.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data
and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Even though the DVD Recorder & VCR records
analog audio and video, with HDMI the analog
signal is converted to digital signal and is sent to
the TV.
- If your 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
& VCR) 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 digital-to-analog conversion and is a pure
digital signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR to
your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
is a system for protecting DVD content output
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.
