    How do you unlock a Samsung Blu Ray player?
    catrina
    over 1 year ago
    To switch back to LOCK OFF mode, press 4-8-2-7-3 on the remote control. "Lock Off" will appear in the upper left corner of the TV screen. Note: If LOCK ON displays instead, then your player was not locked to begin with. Enter 4-8-2-7-3 again to unlock it.

    What is Samsung BD?

    over 1 year ago
    Ken Black Last Modified Date: September 16, 2022. Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) Wise® is a form of optimization and "up-converting" available on certain Samsung® products. The technology uses interactivity between electronic devices, most notably a Blu-ray™ player and High Definition Television (HDTV).
