Cyber

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.  

When you reset your player, you will see the following:

  1. The Initial Settings/On-Screen Language screen appears. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote to select your preferred language for on-screen displays and then press Enter/.
  1. The message, "TV Aspect and Network will be set" will appear. Press Enter to Start. This is followed by the TV Aspect screen.
  1. The Initial Settings/TV Aspect screen will appear. 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 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. The Initial Settings/Network screen appears. 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: This model has built-in wireless so it does not require a Samsung wireless dongle to connect.          

  1. Using the ▲ and ▼ arrows on the Blu-ray remote, select your 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. The type of network security used by each network is displayed to the left, if the network is secure a lock icon will also be displayed.

  1. Using the number buttons on the Blu-ray remote enter the passkey and then press the Blue D button when done.
  2. Important:

    • If you press Enter instead of the Blue D button it will add the last character entered again and the IP address will fail since the incorrect passkey has been entered. The number to the right of the entry field displays the number of digits entered, make sure this number matches the number of digits that make up your passkey.
    • 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.
    • Use the number buttons (0-9) to enter numbers and the directional arrow buttons to move from letter to letter on the on screen keyboard.
    • To change to lower case press the Red A button on your Blu-ray remote, by default the on screen keyboard is set to upper case/capital letters.
    • Use the Green B button to delete and the Yellow C button to add spaces. When done always press the Blue D button.

  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. This is followed by the Internet Protocol screen.
  2. Important: If the player does not connect, select OK and continue to the Network Test.

  1. The Internet Protocol screen appears. 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. A check mark will appear to the left of each test as it passes, when complete press OK.

          

  1. If the Network Test Fails on MAC address, the player requires service. The built-in wireless adapter may require replacement. Click the 'Create New Service' button below to begin setting up service.
    • If the MAC address test passes but IP Address fails, click here to return to the main errors page to continue troubleshooting.

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 the network during the initial setup, you can press the Blue D button on the Blu-ray remote to skip but you must run a Network Test from Settings>Network>Network Setting>Network Test to verify the status of the MAC Address.
