No remote for Samsung DVD with surround sound. I need to select another episode on the player. Can you do it without the remote?

try unplugging tv for 10 mins then try again this resets chipps in tv

Could be many things - I know, bad answer. There is no simple answer or fix.

Without more info one can only speculate.

Please determine and answer as many or all of the following so that we can help.

1) What is the make and model number of the Surround sound unit?
2) What is the make and model of the DVD player?
3) How is the DVD player connected to the Surround sound unit?
3a) Is it connected via an HDMI cable?
3b) Does the DVD player have regular stereo connections that you are using (we call these analog audio connectors)?
3c) does the DVD player have digital audio outputs that are connected to the Surround sound receiver?
4) Did the DVD player EVER make sound?
4a) if yes - what changed?
4b) if yes - does this happen with different discs?

Now some general points.
I'll assume that the other sources do work and play sound through all speakers when they are supposed to play sound through all speakers.

Then - I'll assume that without changing anything else you select the DVD player input that used to make sound but doesn't now.

Problem could be the encoding option that you have selected when you play the disc.
Many DVD's and Bluray's have audio options that you can select from the disc's main menu.
Dolby digital is the most common - also known as AC3.
Some discs have another digital audio track called DTS.

Not all surround receivers can decode all formats.

Even if your surround receiver claims to be able to decode AC3 and DTS, they will not if you don't connect the correct cable to the receiver and usually map the input to the correct digital audio connection that you are using OR if your DVD player is not capable of outputting all formats.

There are many different ways to connect the gear and many different ways one can configure correctly or not; all contributing to whether you get sound or not.

So in the above example - by selecting DTS, you do not get any sound - then try another audio track option. Basic stereo usually works (also know as PCM - which is audio like a CD).

OR maybe you never properly configured the audio properties of the DVD player.

Go into the DVD's menu or set up options and see what you find but make sure you know how the DVD is connected to your surround receiver!

As you can see - there is no simple answer without a lengthy Q and A exchange first.

You will need the original remote access these functions, try www.sony.com contact customer support and the technical department, also try www.ebay.com type make and model of player and scroll through the list.

Make sure you are getting a stereo signal off FM or use a cd in DVD player. Then start selecting different sound processing modes like dolby digital 5.1 or surround sound, or theatre sound, etc. Give that a try and it should get u up and running... Sometimes the only way to select the modes is thur the remote. Keep that in mind and you should be good to go...Let me know how this turns out... Good luck...and happy listening... HDTV GURU JAY

hi,
Is there is any optical digital output in your satelite HD. Then connect that optical digital output of satelite HD to the optical digital input of your surround system (blue ray player) using an optical cable.
Then press the function button on the remote of surround sound system (blue ray player) and select D.IN. (D.IN means DIGITAL IN). You will get the audio through the surround sound system. if you need any more assistance fell free to contact me through fixya.
ok

gave up; believe my DVD is non-compatible to remote use. period.

sometimes directv remotes do not work with surround dvd players. Try doing an automatic code search . Most of the time it will only allow you to power the dvd player and operate the volume.

You do need the original remote however, you can use your TV remote or your cable/SAT remote. They usually have DVD button on them. You just need to read the manual on how to program these remotes to worl with your DVD player. If all else fails, Radio Shack or CVS has universal remotes for about $10 ~ $20.

you must select on remote press "audio" an when appers music on dvd you will have surround sound
