▌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 & VCR 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 (AV OUT) terminals on the rear of the DVD Recorder & VCR to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of your TV. Turn on the DVD Recorder & VCR and TV. Press the input selector on your TV remote control until the DVI signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR appears on your TV screen. Connections ■ To set the HDMI output resolution (480p/720p/ 1080i), see page 29. ■ HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable. Using HDMI, the DVD and VCR 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. ■ HDMI connection description HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data). - Even though the DVD Recorder & VCR records analog audio and video, with HDMI the analog signal is converted to digital signal and is sent to the TV. - If your TV does not support HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen. ■ 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 & VCR) 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 digital-to-analog conversion and is a pure digital signal from the DVD Recorder & VCR 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. English - 17
