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 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 terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV.
Turn on the DVD Recorder and TV.
Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder appears on your
TV screen.

To set the HDMI output resolution(480p/720p/
1080i), see page 32.
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 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.

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?
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. ■
