What does "Not Available" mean on my Samsung Home Theater System?
- J
  John SotoSep 6, 2025
  If your Samsung Home Theater System is showing "Not Available" on the screen, it means the current feature or action cannot be completed because: the Blu-ray/DVD disc's software restricts it; the Blu-ray/DVD disc's software doesn’t support the feature (e.g., angles); the feature is not available at the moment; or you’ve requested a title, chapter number, or search time that is out of range.

  If the HDMI output is set to a resolution your TV doesn't support, such as 1080p, you might not see a picture. To fix this, press and hold the 5 button on the front panel for more than 5 seconds without a disc inserted. This will revert all settings to the factory defaults.

Why can I only hear sound from a few speakers on my Samsung HT-F4500?
- A
  Angel HaydenAug 31, 2025
  If sound is only coming from a few speakers on your Samsung Home Theater System, it could be because, on certain Blu-ray/DVD discs, sound is output from the front speakers only. Check that the speakers are connected properly. Also, make sure to adjust the volume. When playing audio from a CD, the radio, or a TV, the unit outputs sound to the front speakers only.
