Have had the unit for almost 2yrs now. Currently it turns OFF on its own after working for some few hours. It does this even with my Samsung TV ON. Any one knows how to stop the unit from turning OFF on its own? I don't know if it has any automatic...

I personally have not experienced this. So far. However I have noticed that sometimes the sound just stops working. It seems to be random and infrequent, but it's definitely an annoyance. Turning off the system and then turning it back on solves the problem, so far, but as you know this setup is not a speed demon and it's a PITA. Does all Samsung tech have a mind of its own? A slightly demented mind?

We've had the same issue. The TV (which we've had since January '08) had been doing that for 2-3 months. And, it's taken longer and longer to come on. It would make a clicking sound and the small red lights on the right side would go on and off alternately with the light on the "on" button at the base of the TV. Yesterday, it took more than 5 minutes to turn on. Then, today, it stuck in the clicking mode and wouldn't come on at all. We completely unplugged the TV and left it unplugged for several minutes--hoping that when we plugged it back in that it would be in the "off" mode. Instead, it's continued in its clicking mode for nearly an hour, now. Fortunately, we have the extended warranty. And, a repairman is coming here this Thursday to determine what's wrong.

Mine turns itself off, which for me is very desirable. I can never remember to turn it off. It needs to be turned back on manually.

There is one more way it's called a hard reset by Samsung, you hold down the off button and un plug the player at the same time, keep holding the off button for two min. plug your player back in and everything will be back to just like it was when you first taken it out of the factory's box. I now stay away from that bd live I think that is how they get in to hack. I hope those a-holes toys break.

This happened to my Samsung TV very recently. I purchased one of those units and it did the trick. There was a setting on the TV that I had to change to switch to the external port though. I am sure your set has something similar, or it may not be necessary.

I've noticed that other remotes like to my tv or DVD player will turn the mobile on and off as well. I'm sorry that I don't know how to make sure that doesn't happen. I just don't use my TV or DVD player in the bedroom anymore.

Did u try to update it ? When I first got mine , it would turn off then come back on again . Then I updated it and it stopped . Go to the samsung web site and go to tv updates . Then see if you have the latest firmware . If not , contact Samsungs costumer service . I hope this helped you out . I'm still enjoying my set .

Oh my gosh, that is EXACTLY the same problem we are having. It started maybe 4-6 months out of warranty. I am SO mad about t his. We are out of warranty and took it to a TV repairman, he said he couldn't fix it because they don't make just the part that is needed. We would basically need to replace the whole LCD at that point and that wouldn't be worth it. (cost me $75 for the assessment too!) I am going to call Samsung tonight but I am not hoping for much.

If there isn't a sound present such as your tv on or sound system playing, it will turn itself off. It's an auto shut off feature designed to conserve energy. How ever, if it is turning off with sound present, it needs to be checked out. I would recomend calling Yamha tech support and discusing the situation with them.

Seriously ? Mine never stops unless I power it off. The only thing I can think of is something with the timer setting. Maybe you have the timer set to go off every few minutes. Can you get a stopwatch and get some data on the intervals of on/off ? Maybe unplugging it will reset it if it is for some reason set by the timer option. If that doesn't reset it then perhaps it is malfunctioning. It definitely sounds like timer related.

I bough mine December 2012 then after a while in 2015 I experience the same issue. At first, the volume slows down TO 0 automatic randomly and no one is controlling, have this annoying encounter 3 to 6 months I guess. Now its gone but appears another issue: it keeps turning ON/OFF random again on its own. Really BAD, I brought to the samsung service center but unable to find spare parts so no FIX. Its frustrating. I really hope that SAMSUNG can gives us link on how to resolve this.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

My unit did appear to stop functioning at one point. I just fully unplugged for a few days and re-plug in and all was good. Maybe try unplugging for a few hours. I just forgot about it after unplugging.

Another question?Why can't you turn the unit off with the remote ? It just keeps saying Run ????It won't shut off unless you unplug it.

I just leave it alone. As long as its not charging another device it will turn off on its own.

Mine did the same thing before it quit turning on completely. There's a part inside that is failing, and unless you are still under warranty it will cost more to fix it than it will to buy a new one. I ended up having to buy a new, different tv. I wish you luck but unfortunately you are probably going to need to purchase a new tv.

Yes! We've been experiencing the same problem. The standby light flashes red and turns off by itself. We turn it back on and it shuts off again! Then we've also had the picture turn off but the sound is still on. We also bought it through Costco.
