  If your FUNAI Blu-ray Player isn't responding to the remote control, try these steps: * Shorten the distance to the infrared sensor window. * Ensure the player's AC power cord is correctly plugged into a power outlet. * Verify the batteries in the remote are correctly inserted, matching the + and - symbols. * Aim the remote directly at the unit's remote receiver and confirm that the Power-On indicator dims and blinks when a button is pressed. You may need to check the IR signal.

  If you're not getting any audio or video signal on your display device via HDMI cable with your FUNAI Blu-ray Player, it might be due to a non-certified HDMI device. Also, make sure your display device is set to the correct Input / Video source. Try performing an HDMI hotplug by disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable with both devices turned on. Check for TV software updates and ensure you are using a certified HDMI cable.
