How to Set Up and Troubleshoot Your Samsung DVD Player

When setting up your new Samsung DVD player, you may encounter some issues that can prevent you from recording video or playing DVDs. In this article, we will guide you through the process of initializing and troubleshooting common problems with your Samsung DVD-HR755 DVD player.

Connecting Your Camcorder to Record Video

To record video from a camcorder using your Samsung DVD player, ensure that your camcorder is properly connected to the DVD player using the IEEE1394 (DV) interface. Select the HDD as the input source and adjust the recording speed using the REC MODE button.

Checking Input Source and Recording Speed

Make sure you have selected the appropriate recording speed (quality) for your desired recording. The recording speed may be set incorrectly, so check the supported media types and formats in the manual before recording. For example, if you are using a DVD-RW disc without CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) in VR mode, you may encounter issues.

Troubleshooting Incompatible Media

The DVD player may not support recording on certain types of media. Ensure that the video you are trying to record does not have copy protection. Copy control signals on TV broadcasts can also restrict recording. If the HDD & DVD RECORDER receives a copy-guard signal while recording, the recording will stop.

Troubleshooting Copy Protection

The DVD player may not allow recording of video with copy protection. There could be several reasons why you are unable to record video on the internal hard disk drive (HDD) of your Samsung DVD-HR755 DVD player.

Setting Up Your DVD Player for First-Time Use

To initialize and set up your Samsung DVD-HR755 DVD player for first-time use, follow these steps:

1. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the formatting process.

2. Insert a blank recordable DVD or format the internal hard disk drive (HDD) if necessary.

3. Perform an automatic channel scan to set up the TV channels using the arrow buttons on the remote control and OK/Enter button to confirm your selections.

4. Select your preferred language, date, and time settings by following the on-screen instructions.

5. Press the power button on the DVD player or remote control to turn it on.

6. Turn on your TV and set it to the correct input source for the DVD player.

7. Plug in the power cord of the DVD player into a power outlet.

8. Connect the DVD player to your TV using an HDMI or AV cable.

By following these steps, you can easily initialize and set up your Samsung DVD-HR755 DVD player for first-time use. If you encounter any issues during setup, refer to the manual or contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.
