A Samsung DVD recorder records video onto blank DVDs that are intended for home use. A Samsung DVD recorder may need to be reset if you have forgotten the parental control password, if the machine is not working correctly or if you wish to clear all scheduled recordings and start fresh. Resetting the DVD recorder restores the factory settings. You will lose all stored information and will need to reset your scheduled recordings and the clock.

Turn on the DVD recorder by pressing the "Power" button.
