Is there any way I can control my DVD/Blu ray player with no remote? I have an LG bp220 DVD/Blu ray player with a usb port in the front. Is there anything I can use, like an iPhone or wii remote or wireless mouse, that can function as a remote?
The Blu-Ray player remote talks to the player through IR (infrared) signals. iPhones can't do IR remote directly. There are apps that work with external IR devices such as the Griffin Beacon by essentially turning Bluetooth signals into IR commands:But you didn't want more equipment. Your best bet without buying anything is to make use of one of your other remotes. Most Cable box remotes and many TV remotes are actually universal remotes and can control your Blu-Ray player. (If your TV or cable box is older it's possible that the remote does not have a built-in code for the player - for a cable remote this should be solvable as they are generally upgradable -- call your cable company -- but most TV remotes are not). If the above doesn't work your best option is to get a new universal remote. These can be had very cheaply if your goal is just to replace the Blu-Ray remote; this RCA model works fine and goes for under six bucks on Amazon:Amazon.com : RCA Rcr503Br 3-Device Palm-Sized Universal RemoteIf you want to reduce overall clutter, upgrade to a universal remote that can control everything you have, then put the other remotes away. This may be technically "buying extra equipment" but the net result may be fewer, not more, devices.
How do I play a movie on a Samsung blue ray DVD without the remote?
In some cases if you look along the front of the blu-ray player you might find a flap somewhere that unfolds, this will be hiding some of the basic buttons required to play the blu-ray. I know Panasonic usually do this and it’s so handy when you can’t find the remote! Failing that if you look in the pound shops they usually sell some kind of “universal remote” which will allow you some basic functionality without purchasing a new genuine remote. If you want most of the remotes functionality back then look for universal remotes made by a company called “One For All” - they are more expensive than the cheap pound shop universal remotes and are usually found in bigger supermarkets or on Amazon rather than pound shops, but they are much better quality than the cheap ones, and some of the more high end One For All remotes can also download the codes from the internet or learn from other remotes if they aren’t fully compatible and the customer service team at One For All are great at finding the best remote if you go on their website and start a live chat with them - Home | One For AllFailing that you could always contact Samsung and see if they are able to sell you a replacement remote or look on eBay for a genuine samsung remote - this will give you the most compatibility however the samsung remotes will be a lot more expensive than the universal remotes.
How can I get my Sony Blu-Ray player to play without a remote?
It can be done, especially with early model players from the first generation, but it’s awfully difficult to do.First, look at your Blu-ray player. Somewhere on the front or even the top panel there should be what I call “basic function” buttons. They are not exactly easy to spot, and they are not raised (they’re sort of like “touchpad” buttons). These buttons include the universal Power on/off button; the Eject button so you can open and close the tray on which you’ll put your Blu-ray disc (BD); the Play/Pause button; the Skip track button; and the Stop button.Here’s the tricky part, though. Some BDs from Warner Bros. Home Video will begin playback as soon as your player reads and loads the disc without any prompt from you. This is great if all you want to do is watch a movie withoutTurning on subtitles or selecting different audio optionsWatching extra featuresSelecting specific scenes from the disc’s menuPausing the movie without having to get up and hit the player’s pause buttonsHowever, most of Warner Home Video’s newer BD releases are designed with interactive menus that require remotes.Other studios, like 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Disney don’t have BD titles that start the movie without any input from a remote controller.You should look in your Blu-ray player’s manual to check what model it is and find out (A) the part number for the remote and order it from the manufacturer. Often, too, TV manufacturers make their TV remotes with extra buttons that activate functions on Blu-ray players made by the same company. (I have one of those; it doesn’t have the same functionality as a dedicated Blu-ray player remote, but it works for basic things like Play/Pause and Menu Selection.)Or, as someone else said, you can get a universal remote control unit and program it with the help of the manual’s instructions.

Why does my DVD player say "unknown disc"? How do I fix it?
It could be that the player is wearing out. The Unknown disc problem might be a sign that the laser has worn out, probably due to using cheaper components in the construction. Now-a-days players use cheap components and they don't last. Players no longer have cooling fans in them, which means they have to rely on air cooling. If your DVD player is not in a very well ventilated place, it could be dying because of heat damage. In any event, cleaning is extremely unlikely to help it, but you could try that as a last resort.You can try cleaning the lens with a lens cleaner disc. If you don't mind taking the player apart to some extent, you can take the outer shell off and try cleaning the lens directly (but carefully) with a good swab and cleaning solution. Sometimes, the only thing causing a player to stop recognizing discs is a dirty laser lens. Take a cotton swab and dip it in alcohol/spirit/after shave. Make sure shake it off until the swab is damp, but not dripping wet. Gently use it to clean the lens. Then use the other end to dry the lens off. Remain gentle at all times.Additionally you can try to calibrate the lens using the 2 presets as in the image below. Use a Philips screwdriver to turn the pots counter-clockwise in very small amounts until the DVD starts recognizing the disks. If that doesn't work then it could be a problem with the lens its self, Or could be a problem with the power supply to the laser.Still having issues, as i final tip, you can try changing the lens or the entire Lens + CCM Unit. Changing the CCM unit eliminates the possibility of a problematic motor/s causing the issue. Just don't be surprised if you have to buy a new player.
