Watching netflix via blueray. screen on tv went black, controller doesn't work. can turn blueray on at box, but can't choose anything w/o congtroller. tried everything to make controller work, new batteries, holding misc buttons down together, etc. now what?

Are you able to get some voltage measurements?

You need either a app on the TV, a app on a blueray player connected to the TV, some sort of streaming box (WD Live, Roku) or a HDMI stick (ChromeStick, FireStick, RokuStick).
You use the same netflix login for each device I think you can have 5.

Netflix has to be an app or your need the CD/DVD from Netflix. If you go to the netflix website they list all the devices their service will work on.

Switch on the blueray player. Switch on your TV set. Connect your blueray player to the TV with an appropriate cable. Press HOME on the blueray player. Navigate with the blueray player remote control to NETFLIX and press OK. After a few seconds NETFLIX should start.

Your CMOS may be damaged. you need to check with Professional Person for Repairing.

Sounds like the CPU froze. Unplug set from power completely, then plug back in, should work. If not then the problem will have to be solved by a repair technician.

It looks like a warranty problem - take it back and ask for another one.

The Emerson LC320EM2 is not a Smart TV. To display Netflix content, you can connect the TV to your computer via the VGA port on the TV. Then use the TV as your monitor; this may not work with HDCP content. To do this, turn off both the TV and the computer before connecting the devices. Then turn on the TV and set it to the VGA input (PC) before turning on the computer. (Note: you may have to enable the port in the BIOS on some laptops.) If your computer doesn't have a VGA port, try a DVI to VGA adapter. (This may not work with some video cards that only have digital signal output. Look at the port and make sure that the cable/adapter doesn't have more pins than the port.)

Alternatively, get a set top box with Netflix support. (Some Blu-ray players, the Roku box, Apple TV, or the WD Live Hub all have internet connection options and support Netflix. All will support a wired ethernet connection; some models will require a dongle to connect to a wifi network.)

Once you have the set top box, connect the TV to the box via a HDMI cable (purchased separately for most units). Connect to your internet connection and then log into Netflix, These steps will depend on the unit; please add a comment with your source of the Netflix content.

I hope this helps.

(I have an LG Smart TV; it is slow to find the wireless network when started. So expect some wait time before you can sign into Netflix.)
