Cautions on handling discs

• Only CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded with ISO9660 or JOLIET format can be played back • Only MP3 files with the "mp3", and "MP3" exten- sion can be used. • For MP3 files recorded with a VBR(Variable Bit Rates), from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps, the sound may cut in out. • Playable bitrate range is from 56Kbps to 320Kbps. • The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders. • Only JPEG files with the ".jpg", ".JPG" extension can be used. • The unit can handle a maximum of 1000 files and folders. • Maximum size of progressive JPEG is 3M pixels. • MOTION JPEG is not supported. • Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs fixed with exposed tape adhesive or leftover peeled-off stickers.) • Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. • Do not use discs printed with label printers avail- able on the market. • Do not load warped or cracked discs. Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on these discs is highly vulnerable to the environment. • Do not keep under direct sunlight. • Keep in a cool ventilated area. • Store vertically. • Keep in a clean protection jacket. • If you move your DVD Recorder-VCR suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may generate on the operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback. If this occurs, remove the disc and wait for one to two hours with the power on before attempting playback. Disc Storage Disc Specifications • A digital versatile disc (DVD) can contain up to 135- minutes of images, 8-language audio and 32 subti- tle languages. It is equipped with MPEG-2 picture compression and Dolby 3D surround, allowing you to enjoy vivid and clear theatre quality images in the comfort of your own home. • When switching from the first layer to the second layer of a double-layered DVD Video disc, there may be momentary distortion in the image and sound. This is not a malfunction of the unit. • Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video. DVD-Video • An audio disc on which 44.1kHz PCM Audio is recorded. • Plays CDDA format audio CD-R and CD-RW discs. This unit may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the condition of the recording. Audio CD CD-R/-RW MP3 CD-R/-RW JPEG CD-R/-RW • Use a 700MB(80 minutes) CD-R/-RW disc. If possible, do not use a 800MB(90 minutes) or above disc, as the disc may not play back. • If the CD-R/-RW disc was not recorded as a closed ses-sion, you may experience a delay in the early play-back time, and all recorded files may not play. • Some CD-R/-RW discs may not be playable with this unit, depending on the device which was used to burn them. For contents recorded on CD-R/-RW media from CDs for your personal use, playability may vary depending on contents and discs. Using CD-R/-RW • Once a DVD-RW/DVD-R recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video. • You can record onto the available space on the disc and perform editing functions such as giving titles to discs and programs and erasing programs before finalising. • When programming is erased from a DVD-R, that space does not become available. Once an area on a DVD-R is recorded on, that area is no longer available for recording, whether the recording is erased or not. • It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to complete recording management information after recording finishes. • This product optimizes the DVD-R for each record- ing. Optimizing is carried out when you start record- ing after inserting the disc or turn on the unit. Recording onto the disc may become impossible if optimizing is carried out too many times. • Playback may be impossible in some cases due to the condition of recording. • This unit can play back DVD-R discs recorded and finalised with a Samsung DVD recorder. It may not be able to play some DVD-R discs depending on the disc and the condition of the recording. DVD-R Disc Playback and Recording

DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording • Recording and playback can be performed on DVD- RW discs in both Video and VR Modes. • Once a DVD-RW recorded in VR Mode is finalised, you cannot perform additional recording. • Once a DVD-RW recorded in Video Mode is finalised, it becomes DVD-Video. • In both modes, playback can be performed before and after finalisation, but additional recording, deleting and editing can not be performed after finalisation. • If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then record in Video Mode, be sure to execute Format. Be careful when executing Format because all the recorded data may be lost. • A DVD-RW blank disc is initialized to VR Mode when first initialized. • DVD-RW (VR mode) - This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RAM or DVD-RW disc. You can repeat record- ing, editing, deleting, partial deletion, creation of playlist, and etc. - A disc that is recorded in this mode may not be played by existing DVD players. • DVD-RW (Video mode) - This is a format that is used for recording data on a DVD-RW or DVD-R disc. The disc can be played by an existing DVD player once it has been finalised. - If a disc that has been recorded in Video mode by a different manufacturer's recorder but has not been finalised it cannot be played or additionally be recorded by this recorder. • DVD-RAM discs come with or without a cartridge. For this product, we recommend DVD-RAM discs that come with cartridges. • Some cartridges are able to eject the disc inside. Even if you are able to eject the disc, always use the disc with the cartridge to ensure correct opera- tion. • DVD-RAM discs have a Write Protect tab in order to avoid accidental erasure of recorded data. With the Write Protect tab set to PROTECT, you can play the disc, but recording or erasing will not work. Set the Write Protect tab to UNPROTECT to format the disc or erase data. • Ensure that the recording mode is set to VR mode. Otherwise, this product will not be able to play the recording. • You cannot play a DVD-RAM in most DVD players due to compatibility issues. • Only DVD-RAM standard Version 2.0 discs can be played in this unit. • DVD-RAM recorded on this unit may not work with other DVD Players. To determine compatibility with these DVD-RAM discs, refer to the user’s manual for the player. • This unit is compatible with both non-cartridge and car- tridge DVD-RAM, but the write-protect tabs on car- tridge-type discs give better protection to your record- ings.

Make sure to read the following terms before reading the user’s manual. How to use the DVD Recorder-VCR Step 1 Select the disc type Step 2 Format the disc to start recording This unit can record on the following types of discs. If you want to repeatedly record on the same disc or you want to edit the disc after recording, select a rewritable DVD-RW or DVD-RAM type disc. If you want to save a recording without any changes, choose a non-rewritable DVD-R. Unlike a VCR, the recorder automatically starts formatting when an unused disc is inserted. This is required for the preparation of recording on a disc. Using a DVD-RAM This type of disc can be formatted in DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). You can edit recorded images and create a playlist in a specific sequence according to your require- ments. Using a DVD-RW This type of disc can be formatted in either DVD-Video for- mat (Video mode) or DVD-Video Recording format (VR mode). For an unused disc, a message that asks whether to format in VR Mode or not is displayed. You can play a video mode disc on various DVD components. A VR mode disc allows more varied editing. Using a DVD-R This type of disc can be formatted in DVD Video format. After formatting is complete, you can record on the disc. You can play this type of disc on various DVD components only when they have been finalised. „ You can only use one format on a DVD-RW. „ You can change the DVD-RW format to anoth- er format. It should be noted that the data of the disc may be lost when changing formats. Note

Step 3 Recording Step 4 Playing Step 6 Finalising & Playing on other DVD components Step 5 Editing a recorded disc You can select the title you want to play in a displayed menu and then immediately start playback. A DVD consists of sections, called titles, and sub sec- tions, called chapters. During recording, a title is created between two points where you start and stop recording, DVD-RW/DVD-R discs(in Video mode) can automatically create chap- ters according to the recording mode when finalised. There are two different recording methods: Direct Recording and Timer Recording. Timer recording is classified as recording type : Once, Daily or Weekly or recording mode : XP (high quality mode), SP (stan- dard quality mode), LP (long recording mode), and EP (extended mode) according to the recording mode. Editing on discs is easier than conventional video tapes. The recorder supports many different edit functions, pos- sible only with DVDs. With a simple and easy edit menu, you can operate vari- ous edit functions, such as delete, copy, rename, lock, etc., on a recorded title. Creating a playlist (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW in VR mode) With this recorder, you can create a new playlist on the same disc and edit it without the change of the original recording. To play your DVD on other DVD components, finalising may be necessary. First, finish all editing and recording operations, then finalise the disc. When using a DVD-RW disc in VR Mode Although finalising is generally unnecessary when playing the disc on a VR Mode compatible component, a finalised disc should be used for playback on that type of component. When using a DVD-RW disc in Video Mode The disc should be finalised first to enable playback on anything other than this recorder. No more editing or recording can be made on the disc once it has been finalised. To enable recording on the disc again, Disc should be unfinalised. When using a DVD-R disc You should finalise the disc to play it on a component other than this recorder. You cannot edit or record on the disc once it has been finalised.
