  Amanda EvansAug 14, 2025
  If you've forgotten your password for the Samsung DVD Player, power on the unit from a cold start without any disc inside. Then, simultaneously press and hold the STOP and PLAY buttons on the front panel for three seconds. The Select Menu Language display will then appear, where you should select your preferred language. Next, press the SETUP button on the remote to access Parental Mode, which will now be unlocked. You can then set your desired rating level and establish a new password.

  Mark LeAug 21, 2025
  If your Samsung DVD player isn't producing 5.1 channel sound, first ensure that your DVD player is properly connected to a compatible amplifier and that the disc you are playing is recorded with 5.1 channel sound. Look for the “Dolby 5.1 ch” mark on the disc. Also, verify that your audio system is correctly connected and functioning. Finally, check the SETUP Menu to confirm that the Audio Output is set to Bitstream.

  If the play mode on your Samsung DVD player differs from what you selected in the Setup Menu, it's likely because the disc isn't encoded with the corresponding function. Some functions in the Setup Menu won't work correctly if the disc doesn't support them.

  David Frost DDSSep 3, 2025
  If you see an icon on the screen of your Samsung DVD player, it means the current action is restricted. This could be due to the DVD's software limiting the feature, the software not supporting the specific function (like angles), the feature being temporarily unavailable, or the requested title, chapter number, or search time being out of range.
