20 Most Recent Samsung HT-BD2R 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Home Theatre System Theater System Questions & Answers

hi there
i live in Thailand and just made my HT-TX500 region free,
this is what i did

your dvd must be off with no dvd inside
push power on wait til no disc come up then push enter
then push 84269 then push enter then wait for the dvd to turn off
wait 5 mins.then push power on and that worked for me

buy a new one.

If the optical pickup(laser) cannot read the disk, it will in fact say no disk, as it doesn't see one there. For more information, or should you have more questions, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly through the website. Thank you.

I had a similar problem with my unit. every time i hit "eject" the screen would display "eject" for about a minute then display "loading" indefinitely. no mater how many times i powered on or off it just would not spit out my disc. However, I hit the "function" button on the player and cycled through radio, aux. etc. and that seemed to un-freeze it. I was able to eject my DVD while the player was set to radio. give it a try and hope for the best.

i have a samsung htbd2 lost the remote 4 it.but i have a universal remote 4 my lg tv could i use tthat same remote to run my ht/bd2 aswell? cos i have tried playing it through the ht/bd2 mail unit but keeps coming up with a red circle with a line through it please can you help me?

Find the manuals and refer to them.

My personal spin on the instructions:

NO signal ever benefits from multiple connections or 'hops' and it gets expensive zig-zagging a signal all over the room. K-I-S-S is the word of the day. Run the BEST version of any signal directly from its source to the BEST electronics that will present it to you for consumption. The separation of audio and video inputs and outputs on a device is what allows and ENCOURAGES the direction of each signal to the BEST electronics that can process it. Example: your TV does not have the best speakers in the room so why send it any high-end audio?

do you have it hooked up via hdmi to a tv that has hdmi? also make sure you set the output for the dvd/blu ray player to the correct output your using (hdmi 1 or w/e not a passthru or input) also if your using component cables you may have to go to menu on the unit and select that as your outpput get back to me let me now if this helped

It's not clear where you're seeing "protect" nor how you're connected to your TV so I have to make some assumptions.

The manual for the HT-BD2R wasn't available but the HT-BD2/HT-BD2S was...

http://www.retrevo.com/support/Samsung-HT-BD2-Home-Theater-Systems-manual/id/22986bh646/t/2/

Read the section of page 24 regarding HDCP and page 70 regarding Copy Protection.

If the unit is powering itself off...

Generally speaking, an amp protects itself from heat, shorts and overloads.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced hands-on tech.

There are two ways to approach this. You can either download the update from Samsung's support page, burn it onto a CD, place the CD into your Blu-Ray player and let the update load...or you can connect your Blu-Ray player to the internet and let the player download and install the update automatically.

For the first approach, the upgrade file can be downloaded by clicking on the following link:

...and the instructions to installing the file on your system can be found here:

The second approach is detailed in the HT-BD2 User's Manual (pages 46-49). It requires you to first plug a network cable into the back of your Blu-Ray home theater unit, then connect the other end into a LAN connection on your wall (or into the back of your cable/DSL modem) Page 26 of the user's manual shows you how to make the connection.

So would it be safe to say the remote isn't working?

• Is the remote control being operated within its operation range of angle and distance?

• Are the batteries exhausted?

• Have you selected the mode(TV/DVD) functions of the remote control (TV or DVD) correctly?
