Looking for Answers about samsung 5.1 Channel Blu-ray Home Theater System?

Don't hook it up to your TV and then use optical out unless it's your last option (third or 4th device kind of thing). That will only allow 2 channel sound. Hook at least one of the devices up to the second HDMi port. And you can either buy and HDMI switcher or just swap out the HDMI cables out of the back if convienent. (otherwise get a switcher box). Combination of that???

Even though you say its not the modem or the bridge, the fact that you say when you restart the player re-establishes might be saying the opposite. A prior request of checking your router (modem) manufacturer for settings is a good idea, also I would say as a suggestion to set up a static ip for your ht-c6730w on your modem, this way your router doesn't get confused when it tries to re-establish a connection once the connection is dropped.

no the rear speakers have wires going too the wirless module and the module also needs to be pluged in to a outlet too receive a signal.

Read the Version 2.0 Manual if you don't have it (find it on this site). It all depends on your settings. If it's 7.1 material then it Should play out those back speakers OR if you turn on one of the DPL modes designed to take 2 channel or + and play it out all the speakers. Read the manual it describes this pretty clearly in the charts.

You didn't really provide enough information there... so are you using Over the air or are you using a cable from the wall, just no cable STB?

If your TV has ARC you could connect it via your (Audio Return Channel) -ARC outputting HDMI to this receiver on the same cable that sends the video normallyfrom the HTIB.. It's been a while since I read the manual so I can't really remember whether this model supports ARC or not.

If you don't have ARC or if this unit doesn't support it then digital optical / we be the next best. Can't remember if this has digital coax either but that would be another option.

Lastly and worst sounding would be Composite (RCA) output from your TV to the HTIB.

you need to connect the rear speakers to the rear wireless module with the speaker wire included in the box and the rear wireless module needs to be pluged in the receive a signal.

Yes, the reason for this is that the BD-Receiver/TV button was pressed twice. This button has 2 modes of operation depending on the color it flashes when you press any button on the remote. If the BD-Receiver/TV button flashes green then it is in TV mode and if it flashes orange then it is in BD Receiver mode. The way to switch between the 2 modes is simple but not intuitive and easily not noticed. Simply press the BD-Receiver/TV button it will light-up green or orange, depending on what mode it is in, for about 1 second. The trick is to quickly press it again BEFORE the light goes out. When this is done the color of the light will change. If it was green it will change to orange and vice versa. Rember, Orange = BD Receiver function Green = TV

update the firmware
remove disc
goto menu page on BD
select settings
update firmware or check if updates are available
wait patiently through updates
If updated turn unit off and restart
Replace disc and try it

I have a similar setup and noticed D. IN is default. I think it's the Anynet HDMI/CEC connection that does that. Anynet is supposed to be intuitive but it may be necessary to disable it on the TV and receiver when programming a Harmony to be intuitive as well.

I also found no advantage in using HDMI input from my sat/cable source so I used the TOSLINK cable to D. IN from my satellite DVR for audio and ran HDMI direct from satellite DVR to TV and turned TV volume off which still allows audio to headphones as needed via the TV's headphone jack. As you've observed, I had no problem finding the audio using this setup. And the Anynet doesn't add any confusion to this setup either except for the annoying, return to TV tuner static when disconnecting from Receiver's Anynet connection.

Most firmware updates on the 2010 home theater systems takes about 10 minutes to update, depending on connection speed and how long it takes to download the update. Once is downloaded, it should take a few minutes to install.

Thank you for your interest in Samsung products.

use the PL II button to get the tv to sound the way you want
the player is your receiver now so yes for sound it has to be on
you could turn the hdmi audio to on and listen to audio through the tv speakers.
Then you would have to switch the hdmi audio to off everytime you wanted to watch a movie and then switch it back when you want tv. Play with the PL II button and it offers several different sound fields including tv in 7.1

Get an HDMI cable first
otherwise goto settings and check your audio settings.
is HDMI audio set to on? your not using HDMI
It should probably be set to bitsream
read your manual or read the help on the bottom of the screen that explains
all the choices in the settings menu's

If you are able to connect your home theater to the prior router, you may need to contact the customer service center of your router's manufacturer for connectivity assistance. They would be able to assist with settings and defaults associated with the router that you just purchased.

Instructions are on back side of remote; Orange is HT-C6730W (BD Receiver), Green is TV. This multi-color LED/toggle button is below the Red Power button.

depends on the size of the update. Not very long.
However long it is DO NOT lose patience.
stopping update or download procedures can be a disaster

The only way I know of is to go into Settings/Audio and enable (ON) the HDMI audio. If you're using the HDMI to TV and the TV has an audio jack or audio out that you can adapt to, your headphones will work and the audio out of BD player to speakers will be disabled. Unfortunately, there is no HDMI pass-through; therefore, external devices (HDMI1 and HDMI2) need their own input to TV or headphones. For that reason, I moved my satellite receiver from the BD player back to TV and used a TOSLINK cable for audio (D-In) to the BD player for the sound through speakers. HDMI pass-through and a headphone jack or audio out would have been nice, if included, but it appears the switching of HDMI audio is the only option.

HDMI Audio is only temporary until turned (off) in settings or power cycling the BD Player.

This is an inherent issue with this unit apparently, only solution i've found is hooking up the cable tv box to the unit through optical audio (which is what "D link" is) and then hook up the cable box directly to your tv through HDMI .. Downside to this is you will be limited to two channel audio, so you wont be able to hear surround sound stations from some sources that have it.

if you are hooked up to the internet and BD-Live it can take that long
be patient or disable bd-live still takes longer than a DVD

I have had the same problem and sorry to say i can't give you an answer just unplug the player and try to update with a flash drive.After several attempts updating over the wireless system it still wont download.good luck

no 3D movies have a different format and the lens cannot pick up the format for 3D disc and will only play blu-ray movies and not 3D blu-ray movies and the system needs to be upgraded to a 3D blu-ray system.
