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.

HDMI (High Definition 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.
