Samsung's DVD-VR320 gives you both a DVD recorder and a VCR in a one compact combo deck. It enables you to watch a DVD while the VCR records to tape, or vice versa. The hi-fi VCR offers MTS decoding, four video heads, auto tracking adjustment, three VHS recording settings (SP, SLP, and auto), and quasi S-VHS playback. The DVD-VR320 records onto either DVD-RAM or DVD-R/RW discs, and it provides a front panel composite AV input as well as Firewire (IEEE 1394) port for connecting a digital video camcorder to the unit for recording directly to disc. It's also compatible with playback of CD-R/RW discs with MP3 and JPEG digital content. You'll be able to record up to 16-hours of video with a double sided 9.4 GB DVD-RAM disc, and up to 8-hours of images with a 4.7 GB DVD-RAM/-RW/-R disc (depending on the recording mode). You can set your recorder to one of four different recording speeds, each varying in recording quality and length. EP (6 or 8 hour) mode yields the most recording time, LP and SP modes provide less recording time with higher quality recording (between 2 and 4 hours), and XP mode gives you the highest quality recording. If FR mode is selected, the video quality is adjusted automatically so that all video for the scheduled time can be recorded onto the free disc space. Recording features include A-B erase and playlist editing (DVD-RW and DVD-RAM), customized titles for recorded material, and one-touch, two-way dubbing of non-copy-protected material.
Progressive scanning provides high resolution and flicker free video. The 10-bit 54-MHz DAC, 2D Y/C Separating circuitry and Time Base Corrector processor technology provide you with the highest image playback and recording quality. It provides optical and coaxial digital audio outputs for Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel surround sound, as well as a selectable progressive-scan mode for smoother video with HD-compatible TVs via the component video output. It also offers the following video connections:
