      If no operation can be performed with the remote control of your Samsung Blu-ray Player, check the batteries and replace them if needed. Ensure you are within 6.1 meters of the player. For resetting the remote control, remove the batteries, hold down one or more buttons for several minutes, then reinstall the batteries.

    What to do if the screen is blocked on my Samsung Blu-ray Player?

      William IngramAug 28, 2025
      If the screen is blocked because the HDMI output is set to a resolution your TV doesn't support (like 1080p), press the button on the top panel for more than 5 seconds when there's no disc inside and you are on the home screen. This will revert all settings to the factory defaults. Note that this will delete all stored user BD data.

      The prohibition message appears on the screen of your Samsung Blu-ray Player when an invalid button is pressed, the Blu-ray Disc/DVD’s software doesn’t support the feature (e.g., angles), or you’ve requested a title or chapter number or search time that is out of range.
