The component output jack of the DVD player can be used for progressive output mode, which is only available with TVs that support progressive scan.

■Progressive Scan Output (480p)

Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. If you experience 480p progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that you switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions regarding TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

■The Component jacks will not output video resolutions above 480p. To view 720p and 1080i, connect the DVD-VR357 to your TV with an HDMI- HDMI cable. With HDMI connected, press the P.SCAN button to alternate between all available resolutions. (See page 29)
