Question

HT-EM53C Blu-ray randomly switches inputs

Aug 8, 2018 2:41PM PDT

My 3-D Blu-ray player randomly switches inputs. I’ve seen this happening with newer models but not sure of the advice given will work for my model in regards to disconnecting the touchscreen cable. Ive never had any issues since I purchased it in 2012. Now all of a sudden it started doing this. I spent 2 hours with Samsung to new avail. If I can avoid having to gave it serviced or making a purchase I’m all for it. Any suggestions?

What's new in 2018?

I take it that Samsung covered remotes and NEVER connecting to CeC HDMI ports and how to disable CeC. That's all I can offer since if it's failing after these number of years with no new gear you need estimates and my bet is sometimes a new player is cheaper.
