Samsung DVD-V3500 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Unit works well but problems may arise if power goes off
I purchased this unit a week ago and following the power going out I attempted to reset the clock, but got nothing but a blurred screen no matter what I seemed to try(on/off, unplug, Check cables etc.) What I finally discovered just as I was about to return the unit, is that if you have the unit set for component out for progressive scan, you will not get anything but the blurred screen, until you switch back to the composite out, and then setup works just fine. I also saw the red screen which others have mentioned, but that occurs only when you are switched to the S-Video out. The easy way to avoid both of these problems is simply to use the button on the front of the machine to switch to composite-out when using the VCR or setup. Unfortunately the manual doesn't bother to explain all this.
