To use HDMI cable (not supplied), make the
Audio/Video connection before plugging in the
power cord or after fi nishing the “Plug & Auto
Setup.” Do not connect the HDMI cable while the
“Plug & Auto Setup” is progressing.
Progressive scan automatically activates when
HDMI is connected.
If your TV does not have Bitstream decoder, you
must set the digital audio output to PCM in order
to watch through the HDMI output.
(See pages 34~35)
Depending on the HDMI device (TV/HDMI
Receiver) you use, audio may not be supported. If
TV/HDMI Receiver does not support Dolby digital,
Audio output is not available when you set Digital
output as ‘Bitstream’ in Audio setup menu. In this
case, set the digital audio output to PCM. If TV/
HDMI Receiver does not support DTS, Audio
output is not available when you play disc in DTS
format.
You can switch from the HDMI output to other
output only in stop mode.
If you use an HDMI cable to connect a Samsung
TV to the HDD & DVD Recorder, you can operate
the recorder using the TV remote control.
(This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs that
support (HDMI CEC).)
(See page 32)
Please check the logo (If your TV has an
logo, then it supports function.)

HDMI (High Defi nition 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 diff erence between HDMI and DVI is that
HDMI supports multi-channel audio. Using
HDMI, the HDD & 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 HDD & DVD
Recorder
uses a HDMI
cable (not supplied), the HDD & 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?
Analogue TVs require an analogue video/audio
signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a
digital-to-analogue converter (in the HDD & DVD
Recorder) or an analogue-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 HDD & 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 unauthorised copies
from being made.
