Hi David,

If it is a  Samsung SE-208DB ODD
I downloaded the Manual to have a look for you.
Under - How to Use - scroll down to:

How to use the AV Connectivity function:

NOTE:
* This product works in ODD mode by default when the power is supplied.
* The supported media file formats are determined by whether they are supported 
by the AV device.
* In AV Connectivity mode, files cannot be saved and files are accessed in 
read- only mode.
* Since the product works like an external type HDD in AV Connectivity mode, 
you cannot burn a disc or play a DVD title.
* AV Connectivity works depending on whether the mode is supported by the 
connected device and not like a DVD player.
