It doesn't make sense to me but I guess that's what the player does.

Well, I just found this thread on AVS Forum that counters the assertion that the Faroudja de-interlacing is NOT used with the component video output.

Remember that with this player, DVI output and component 480p output are mutually exclusive - if one is turned on, the other will be turned off. So your simultaneous output options are:

- DVI (480p or 720p or 1080i) & component interlaced & S-video & composite. (DCDi is disabled for component/S/composite but since those outputs are interlaced, it's not needed there anyway).
- Component 480p. That's it - all other outputs are disabled. This makes sense because S-video and composite do not support progressive signals. As for why DVI is disabled, you'd have to ask Samsung.

Now I'm TOTALLY confused....

Peace....
