Cannot turn TV off when playing CD's with samsung HT-X810R/LG50PG

It sounds like you have an issue with the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) function. When the home theater system is connected to a compatible TV by an HDMI cable, you can sync the operations when this is enabled on both the TV and the home theater system.

You need to be turn the feature off on one or both devices. If you have another HDMI port on the TV, you could move the HDMI cable to that port. (Most TVs only have one HDMI-CEC enabled port.) Note: this turns off the audio return channel option. If you only have the HDMI cable connected between the TV and the HT-EM53C, you will need to connect another cable. Depending on the TV, this could be an optical audio cable, analog RCA audio cable or headphone (3.5mm) to RCA audio cable.

The manual for the Samsung HT-EM53C is available at ManualsLib here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html .

A summary of the Anynet+ feature is here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html?page=29#manual . Accessing and navigating the Settings menu is discussed here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/355628/Samsung-Ht-Em53c.html?page=25#manual . Press the Home button on the remote and go to the icon with the gear.

I hope this helps.

The way mine is hooked up is like this: Ps3, DirecTV box all plugged to my samsung TV and then only thing I have plugged into the Ht box is the hdmi out to TV and an Optical Cable from Tv to HT box. All audio is going to Tv then to HT box and plays all through hometheater box when it is on. Try the optical cable

i m dvd home cinema sound system ht q20 every thing is ok but soung is not good plz hlep me

It seems as though the HT works fine, so to get the TV itself to play through the HT setup, take the audio out from the TV and hook it up to a separate channel on the HT receiver. Turn on TV and receiver and put the receiver on the respective channel of the receiver. I hope this helps.

Hi,
You need to put away the remote for your TV and use only the remote for your HT system. Your HT remote should work on your TV by default. Your Samsung HT remote should have a TV button and a DVD/Receiver button (or HT button). When using only the TV, press the TV button and then use it for just the TV and when using the HT system, press the DVD/Receiver button and then you can use the HT system.
If for some reason your TV is not set on the Samsung HT remote by default, your HT users manual should have a list of codes that you can use to program your HT remote. Hope that helps you. Gary

Hi there, this code should allow you to unlock your HT-X810. I'm not sure about the HT-X810R specifically, but its worth a shot, let me know if you need any further assistance,

First, turn on the X810 without any disc in the player.
Next, press [Enter][8][4][2][6][9][Enter]

Hi,
You need just one cable that goes from your TV to your HT system.
On your TV you should see an RCA jack for "AUDIO OUT" and you need to plug that into your AUXILLARY "AUDIO IN" on your HT system
When you are watching TV and you want the sound to come through the HT system, just set the HT system to "AUX" mode. Most Samsung systems will have 3 'AUX' modes, set the remote on 'AUX 1' then wait a few seconds, if no sound comes through then set it on "AUX 2" wait a few seconds and if it doean't work try AUX 3.
Hope that helps.

Try updating your firmware... samsung.com Or have you tried that?

Keep in mind that if your back up DVD's are over 80min (720mb?) they will not play on the Samsung HT-X50 - There are also a few more formats that will not play either - its on the first few pages of the instruction manual.

I called Samsung. They told me how to do a software reset and solve the problem
1. Take out all CDS.
2. Turn off and then on.
3. HOld down stop for 5 - seconds.

Problem Solved!
