• Playback may be impossible in some cases due to
the condition of recording.
• This unit can play back DVD±R discs recorded and
finalized with a Samsung DVD video recorder. It may
not be able to play some DVD±R discs depending
on the disc and the condition of the recording.
DVD-RW Disc Playback and Recording
• Recording and playback can be performed on DVD-
RW discs in both the Video and VR Modes.
• Once a DVD-RW is recorded in VR or Video mode is
finalized, you cannot perform additional recording.
• Once a DVD-RW is recorded in Video Mode and
finalized, it becomes a DVD-Video.
• In both modes, playback can be performed before and
after finalization, but additional recording, deleting and
editing can not be performed after finalization.
• If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then
record in V Mode, be sure to first reformat the disc.
Please be aware that formatting may erase all of the
discs content.
• When inserting an unused disc, a message will appear
asking whether to initialize the disc or not. If you select
“Yes”, the disc will be formatted in VR mode.
•
DVD-RW (VR mode)
- This is a format that is used for recording data on a
DVD-RW disc. You can record multiple titles, edit,
delete, partial delete, create a playlist, etc.
- A disc that is recorded in this mode will not play in
standard 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 finalized.
- If a disc that has been recorded in Video Mode by
a different maker’s recorder but has not been
finalized, it cannot be played or recorded by this
recorder.
DVD+RW Disc Playback and Recording
• With DVD+RW discs, there is no difference between
DVD-Video format (Video mode) and DVD-Video
Recording format (VR mode).
• You can make your own chapters on DVD+RWs and
edit them using the Chapter Edit menu.
• Finalizing is generally unnecessary when using a
DVD+RW disc.
DVD-RAM Disc Playback and Recording
•
For cartridge type DVD-RAM discs, remove the
cartridge and use only the disc.
•
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 discs 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.
Protection
This DVD Recorder can allow you to protect the contents of
your discs, as described below.
• Program-protection: See page 62 “Locking a Title”
• Disc-protection: See page 72 “Disc Protection”
✻
DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R discs that are incompatible
with the DVD-VIDEO format cannot be played with this
product.
✻
For more information on DVD recording compatibility,
consult your DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R manufacturer.
✻
Use of poor quality DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R discs may
cause the following unexpected problems including
recording failure, loss of recorded or edited materials or
damage to the recorder.
Do not use the following discs!
• LD, CD-G, CD-I, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs should not
be used in this product.
• Some commercial discs and DVD discs purchased outside
your region may not be playable with this product. When
these discs are played, either “No Disc." or "The disc cannot
be played. Please check the regional code of the disc." will
be displayed.
• If your DVD-RAM/DVD±RW/DVD±R disc is an illegal copy or
is not in DVD video format, it may also not be playable.
• A 8X speed DVD+RW or greater disc can be played, but
maximum recording speed is 4X.
• Not all brands of discs will be compatible with this unit.
• The latest firmware upgrade to improve recording & playback
quality can be downloaded from our web site. (Download
Center at www.samsung.com/ca)
• If disc compatibility problems continue, or there is an issue
upgrading your recorder, contact the Call Center at 1-800-
SAMSUNG.
COPY PROTECTION
•
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because
of this, you should only connect your DVD Recorder directly
to your TV, not to a VCR.
Connecting your recorder to a VCR results in a distorted
picture from copy-protected DVD discs.
