ConneCting the ViDeo oUtPUt
Besides HDMI, there are several ways to connect your DVD Recorder.
Select one of the video connections on the following pages.

Connecting to Component Video input Jacks (Y, Pb, PR)

Connect Component video cables (not supplied) between the COMPONENT OUT (Y, PB, PR) jacks on the
DVD Recorder and COMPONENT IN (Y, PB, PR) jacks on your TV.
You will enjoy high quality images. Component video separates the picture element into black and white(Y),
blue(PB), red(PR) signals to present clear and clean images.
Connect the audio cables(white and red) between the Component AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Recorder
and Component AUDIO IN jacks on your TV(or AV amplifier). (See pages 23~24)
Progressive scan
- If your TV supports Progressive Scan, you can enjoy higher quality video by Progressive Scan Setting.
(The component cable has to be connected.) (see page 34)
Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan doubles the amount of video lines fed to your TV, resulting
in a clearer, more stable, and flicker free image than interlaced video. The component output jack of the DVD
recorder 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 and1080p connect the
DVD-R174 to your TV with an HDMI-HDMI cable. With HDMI connected, set the progressive scan to alternate
between all available resolutions. (See page 33)
