Topic: My blu-ray player didn't come with a remote control or manual.
Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 12 years ago#34,725
I got the player working with my cable remote, but I have no means of selection an option on either the main menu or on the DVD/Blu-Ray menu itself. The select button on the remote also goes back to the cable configuration instead of staying on the DVD configuration, yes, it's suppose to be a universal remote.
Why are universal remotes never really universal?
Figures something always goes wrong, it always does.

You can't control the menu with the play, previous, and next buttons on the machine?

I can control it from the menu buttons on the player, but apparently the play button always gives me a "is not available" message on screen when there is a blu-ray disc inserted.

I guess I should post my remote. I found the image on Google Images.
All works except for Play and Submit. They make the CBL button flash even after I pressed the DVD button.

You might have bought one that had been purchased before, then returned. was it brand new or used? If you bought it brand new, and it was returned, someone didn't put the remote and book back in. If so, I'd demand a refund or a different one.

Just go back to the store and check if they're supposed to come without remotes, which seems unlikely to me. If they are, they will likely sell a compatible remote. Even so, you seem to describe the device not working at all with the buttons on the front with the dvd being in there. That is not normal, so you are either doing something horribly wrong (is the disc upside down?), or you have a broken dvd player.

I just wonder how much money was saved by buying it sans instructions n remote of its own?

Are you letting it auto-search for a code for your Blu-ray player or putting the code in yourself? There are multiple codes for some brands. (e.g. If you have an Insignia Blu-Ray player, then either 091 or 096 will work depending on your player model.) A one-off code that is found by the auto-search might only provide limited functionality.

I'm being honest, im lgbt myself but im tired of people using it as an excuse to make other people either: a) feel bad, b) walk on eggshells, or c) an excuse to treat the person with more privilege, its a TOTAL cop out. It'd bad enough that tumblr has been overrun with such bullshit, I would rather not have it seep out into the rest of the internet. being trans is not something you can use just so you dont have to deal with anything, thats not how real life works.
evidence: tripcode, obvious attention whoring. you're trans? cool, nobody really cares. if you make your entire life revolve around that you will continue to be a fucking boring person that has nothing else going on in life. Go out and better society instead of wasting it on imageboards.

lol sorry my bad i forgot to mention minecraft, wow what an awesome hobby
> Yo Catherine's just different. Really boring and a little slow but that's why i leave it alone
its spread out across -every- single imageboard, obviously he wants attention.
Nah, I wont use a proper pronoun either, I dont think he is legitimately trans, just as you said: retarded, slow, etc. A side-effect of being on the internet for SO long.
There are those that are legitimately trans and there are those that are "trans" because tumblr told them they were. It's stupid as shit and really is childish behavior.
At least keep the "slice of life" (worthless) threads to hugbox, maybe try posting something of value on mc at least? I almost included tc but you know, beggars cant be choosers!

Yes, I understand though, heres the thing: they aren't doing anything about it, they want to change? its totally possible, go to school, if you're depressed? go talk to someone, there are ways you can get up and over that so you CAN conquer the island of gender conversion, but guess what? being around pissing on the internet all goddamn day isn't going to do -SHIT- about it, the pity "woe is me my life is shit please please wont someone tell me how special and better i am than everyone else" shit is so played out. I've dealt with that stuff, i know about it, you overcome it, it happens, its just depression. But guess how I did it? I: Bettered myself in every way I could see fit, I stopped relying on the internet for sympathy and for feeding my ego. I stopped letting people enable me, I stopped letting them let me get away with acting like a total prick just because I didn't want to give the world (society) anything.
Now for part 2: then what? Well then what? Obviously that means that it was just mental instability right? Why are people wrong for suggesting this in the first place? See post #1. Be an adult. You need to earn respect and you need to -earn- the ability to let society form around you, give and take. That is the way the world works. You cant sit around with nothing better to offer than "Sitting on the internet looking for sympathy on the internet because nobody in their right mind has it to give it to me irl yet"
Don't like it? deal with it, everyone has to. You aren't any more special than anyone else.

It's not cool to cast doubt on somebody's gender identity. That's like assuming a rape victim is making it up. Like, call her stupid and annoying and an attention whore all you want, but the one consistency Catherine has maintained is her gender identity. I know you are lgbtq, so am I, so is Cathy. None of us are authorities. But yeah, Catherine is the kind of person who makes threads anonymously about herself to get attention. A truly dubious character. I'm not even disagreeing that her asserting her identity so often/grossly is an attention-getting tactic. Just u know

I am familiar only by driving through area where Cathy lives - Victorville is a depressing place to be. Cathy has to get out of there. Telling Cathy to go outside when outside is depressing is wot it is.
Cathy finds it almost impossible to share how Cathy feels so Cathy vents on Net - Not such a bad thing. Damn riting this without personal pronouns sucks
It seems Cathy has decided to change gender and become a Lesbian if I understand Cathy correctly. I bet Cathy has not thought 2much about that cause Cathy also wants a family.

I have a Samsung and the codes were entered manually.
@478,691 (G)
I'm about ready to go back to the store. The box was open box and the sticker on it said no missing accessories, yet the manual for my device shows a remote. Yes, I put the disc in correctly, the play button on the device says it's not available. It still works.

Yes, it is, it leads to mental instability. Sorry.
My town is depressing as well, know what I did? I saved up money and I fucking left. It's REALLY easy, anyone could do it.
suck it up and continue living life with the ability to sort out issues or give up and become a drug addict, this is how it happens.

There's five codes for Samsung listed. Did you try some of the others?

Wait, do you have to enter ALL codes?
I thought it was whichever one worked first was the one.

I think the second one did, it was just that the selection and play buttons didn't work. Everything else was fine.

Different Samsung players probably use similar remote signals for basic on/off/standby type functions, but they may vary signals for other functions across devices depending the the range of functions those devices offer. If you're only getting limited functionality with the code you are using, wouldn't it make sense to try some of the others to see if they worked better?
