Question:

How to perform the initial setup process for a Samsung Blu-ray player?

 

Answer:

Your Blu-ray player will have the same initial settings setup structure when the player is first turned on and when the player is reset.  

Before beginning the steps below check the following:

  • Blu-ray player connected to your TV, for instructions click here.
  • Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (WIS09ABGN or WIS09ABGN2), must be purchased separately.
  • A Broadband or DSL connection and a Router and Modem.

When you power on the player for the first time or when you reset your player, you will see the following:

  1. Initial Settings – On Screen Language. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote select your preferred language for on-screen displays and then press Enter/. This is followed by the second initial setup screen below.

  1. Initial Settings - Start is automatically highlighted, press the Enter button on the Blu-ray remote to begin. This is followed by the TV Aspect screen.

  1. Initial Settings - TV Aspect. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote select the option that best matches the type of Television the Blu-ray is connected to. This is followed by the Network setup screen.
    • 16:9 - Select when connecting to a 16:9 TV screen. All content will be displayed at the original aspect ratio. Content formatted in 4:3 will be displayed with black bars on the left and right.
    • 16:9 Wide – Select when connecting to a 16:9 TV screen. All content will fill the full screen. Content formatted in 4:3 will be stretched.
    • 4:3 Letter Box – Select when connecting to a 4:3 TV screen. All content will be displayed at the original aspect ratio. Content formatted in 16:9 will be displayed with black bars on the top and bottom.
    • 4:3 Pan-Scan – Select when connecting to a 4:3 TV screen. 16:9 content will have the extreme left and right portion cut off.

  1. Initial Settings - Network. Using the ◀ and ▶ arrows on the Blu-ray remote, move to Wireless and then press Enter. The Blu-ray player begins searching for available networks in the area and displays a list once the search is completed.

    Note: If the Samsung Wireless LAN adapter is not connected, a message, 'Please verify that Samsung Wireless LAN adapter is connected' is displayed.          

  1. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote select the wireless network name (SSID) and then press Enter. The security key screen is displayed.

    Note: You no longer have to select the type of network security on 2010 models, you only need to enter the security key. 

  1. Using the number buttons on the Blu-ray remote enter the passkey and then press the yellow C button when done.
    • 26 character WEP keys are not supported by our Blu-ray Players. If you are using a 26 character WEP key you will need to change your password or use WPA encryption on your network.
    • To toggle between numbers, letters and symbols you must press the subtitle button on the Blu-ray remote. By default the on screen keyboard is set to numbers.
    • Each number/letter/symbol is displayed above the number keypad as it is entered. The red number that appears on the far right of the entry field keeps track of the number of digits entered. For example, if the passkey is 13 digits but the counter shows 14 have been entered, delete the entry and start again.
    • To delete the last digit entered, you must press the audio button on the Blu-ray remote.

  1. The Connecting to wireless access point message appears with the network name displayed on the bottom. This is followed by a Connected message which shows OK already highlighted, press the Enter button on the Blu-ray remote to select. This is followed by the Internet Protocol screen.

  1. Initial Setting - Internet Protocol. Auto is automatically highlighted, press Enter to select. By selecting auto the IP address is automatically configured. This is followed by the Network Test screen.

  1. The Network Test screen is displayed and displays a check mark to the left of each test as it passes, when complete press OK.

          

  1. The 'Initial settings completed' message appears briefly before the home menu is displayed.

Important: If the Network Connection Test does not pass, click here for Network Connection Test Fails.

Notes: 

  • These settings can be changed later in the settings menu.
  • Each time the Blu-ray player is reset (press and hold the Stop button on the player with no disc) you will be prompted to go thru steps 1-10.
  • If you do not wish to setup your network during the initial setup, press the blue D button on the Blu-ray remote to skip.
