HT-X40 Configure to play DVD's in 1080i?

Many remote control codes can be found at InsigniaProducts.com. Search for your Insignia product model number and click on the Support tab.

The PWM amp ics are bad. If you have a dc voltage on speaker terminal thats it.

I have the same HT-X40 home theater as you do, and my problem seems similar to yours. It'srelated to overheating. First check the fan and air flow from it. Ifit's OK, the problem can be inside the unit. In my case one of theoutput filter capacitors got broken - it had a crack on its body.Replacement of the capacitor fixed the shutdown on protection.
Anotherquestion is what damaged the cap. Preliminary I consider placement ofthe capacitors as a possible problem - they are too close to the outputinductors which can get relatively hot even at normal workingcondition.

Try to burn your cd with CD-R 650MB/74 mins.and play: i believe it will work.

has to be in digital cable going in and the dvd has to be dolbit dts avb sound track ok to enables itself

i dont think you are suppose to have the tv speakers on with the theather systems speakers on because of the magnectic field can cause your tv speakers to mess up.

Wow, doesnt sound good. My only thought is that on new devices they often have tape and cardboard inserts to protect the device for shipping. Make sure there isnt any tape or packing material stuck somewhere in the device. Otherwise it must just be a bad player. They shouldnt have any problems exchanging it since you just got it. Good luck!

switch from 1080i to either 420p or 720p (720p is actually better)
there is also a downloadable program from samsung.com
