Top 20 Samsung HT-TXQ120 Home Theater System Theater System Questions & Answers

Hi. There is a change in focus by the laser for a dual layer DVD - the laseer has to read through a semi-transmissive layer for that extra information too. Cleaning your laser lens with a cleaning disc kit may bring it bck to life especially if you smoke... else could be time for a new laser(s) https://www.bandcds.co.uk/faqs/dual-layer-dvds

If your remote won't work at all, then you'll need to get a new remote from Samsung to control all functions. If however, everything works on the remote but the volume, keep the original for all other functions and just use a cheap universal remote programmed to the Samsung code to control the volume. I had the same thing happen on a Sony THIB remote for a HT. I used a Scientific Atlanta to turn it on and off, as well as control the volume, but retained the original remote so I could get at all other functions. If you have to buy a new Samsung remote or if you buy one of those high-dollar universal remotes that program a zillion functions it will cost you big. Fair warning.

Amazon seems to have one Universal Replacement Remote Control Fit For Samsung AH59 01643Z AH59...

could be overheating some electronics do that make sure its at room temperature or cooler

First check that there's power at the receptical. Plug a lamp in that you know works.

The remote has its own issues.

They also sell replacement remotes.

Zoom in on the picture of the original remote provided on the site (or look at your own) and get the actual remote model number.

or check eBay: search for "(model of the device or the remote) remotes", check the 'include description' box. Usually cheaper than the vendors.

Hardware buttons on devices also fail. There's no magic fix for them. Do other modes select ok?

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as a root cause for ntermittent shutdown.

Is it one DVD in particular or all DVDs?

If it is only one DVD where did you get it from?

If it is all DVDs where did you buy the HTS from?

DVD zones are specific to the region you live in..

hi,
Read the following review of this product. before purchasing the product.

Samsung's mini systems used to limp home in disgrace, It cuts an impressive profile. Standing almost to the shoulder, it has some of the panache of B&O, but packs more technology and carries significantly less of a premium. The floorstanding speakers are plastic, but finished in a sophisticated gloss black, while the main unit has a vibrant scrolling blue LED display.

The excited claims on the box of this being the first ever 'Full HD' system are a bit misleading. For a start, it's not genuine Full HD insofar that the disc player doesn't spin any of the new hi-def disc formats - in Samsung's case, that would mean Blu-ray. As far as this system is concerned, Full HD simply means upscaling DVD to 1080p.
There's no internal HDD this time, but the HT-TXQ120 can read picture, music and movie files from the USB port. The deck can also spin multichannel Super Audio CDs and DVD-A discs. An HDMI input is great news for anyone that wants to hook up a hi-def player or console.
Connecting to a projector lays bare the Samsung's picture performance, and it certainly stands up to scrutiny with our Saving Private Ryan DVD. Standalone DVD players generally achieve more vivid and consistent colours, but there's not much blocking or background fizz to spoil the party here.
Upscaling to 1080p brings a marked improvement, snapping edges into sharper focus. Thumbs up for the internal scaler, then.
The Samsung also gets to grips with the 5.1 mix on Saving Private Ryan well. With all of the speakers on matching stands, it's easy to position them in the ideal formation and although they lack the bass refinement of traditional wooden cabinets, they can deliver accurate mid and treble subtleties. The chunky subwoofer fills in the LFE to complete a coherent soundstage.
This is an excellent system - delivering real surround sound and excellent visuals.
ok

Do you mean the "System Connector cable", #11 on page 8 of the manual?

Check out hdmi.org on the 1.4 technology. It's still fairly new and not really into home applications. Hope this helps

It sounds like your having this problem because the files on your iphone/ipod are in itunes format and not in mp3 format. Try some mp3 files and see if those play.
Thank you,
