Operating Tips
1) When the screen is switched to the TV program.
- When you select the first button, the DTV button, in the Device List, it switches to the TV program.
- Although you have selected another device from the Device List, if detecting a video signal from
the device fails, the “Connection failed” message appears and the screen automatically switches
to the TV program.
- When the 1394 connection to the selected device is disconnected, the screen automatically
switches to the TV program. If you reconnect the device, the reconnected device is automatically selected.
2) When connected to a AV-HDD
- When a AV-HDD disc is rotating, there may be a time delay.
- Some AV-HDDs may provide two playbacks or recordings simultaneously. In this case, there
may be two Play icons in the File List and 2 AV-HDD buttons in the Target List.
- If you copy a file from the File List, the selected AV-HDD file is played on the TV screen and recorded
using the device selected from the Target List.
If the file reaches its end, the recording device will stop automatically.
- Some AV-HDDs may display the wrong file information after recording, depending on the situation.
- If AV-HDD is recording, the file is automatically played which is currently being recorded,
when it is selected from the Device List. (PVR function - Refer to What is Time-Shift Mode? on page 98)
- For the “Go to recording position” button operation, the recording and playing time are displayed and the
difference between them must be longer than 30 seconds.
3) When connected to D-VHS
- Some devices support an automatic connect function (I-mode). These devices may cause a malfunction
when multiple devices are connected.
- Some D-VHS devices may not record properly when multiple devices are connected and the mode is I-mode.
- When selecting a D-VHS being used for a recording from the device list, you can only switch to D-VHS screen
mode after the recording is stopped.
4) When connected to a camcorder
- Depending on if the camcorder is in Tape or Camera Mode, the control panel changes.
If the camcorder turns off the power (power saving mode), the camcorder may disappear from the Device List.
5) AV-HDD, D-VHS and camcorders automatically stop when you select another device.
6) Some devices may be displayed in the Device List as ‘UNKNOWN’.
This may happen when the device does not contain the proper information or it cannot be read.
7) Some devices may not be recognized and may be disconnected from the 1394 connection when they are turned off.
8) Through D-Net, you can connect another IEEE1394 compatible TV. If the TV is connected, the TV is listed in the
D-Net Devices. At this point, the screen that appears when the TV is selected is determined by the specifications
of the connected TV. That is, the screen of the connected TV or another connected IEEE1394 device may be displayed.
When a SAMSUNG DTV which supports D-Net is connected to each other, it only transmits Radio Frequency (RF)
of the selected DTV.
9) When connecting more than one STB, some STBs may not be displayed in the Device List due to STB specifications
or defects when multiple devices are connected.
Even if the device is displayed in the Device List, the connection may fail.
STB problems may also stop the video stream while recording, or the recording may fail.
In this case, you have to discover which device is defective by removing them one by one.

What is Digital TS ?
: DTV packages digital data (video, audio and data) into 188 byte units using the MPEG-2
algorithm and transmits the data unit. It is called Digital Transport Stream or Digital TS.
