Purchased this UN43TU8000FXZA new and have had virtually no issues with it until today.
I currently have the UN43TU8000FXZA hooked up via optical to a Yamaha receiver and the samsung remote controls the volume.
I turned the receiver on and the TV on and the receiver volume went to 100+ max. To clarify, the original Yamaha remote is not in the room, not even powered up and has no batteries. It's just the Samsung remote and the Receiver controlled via the smart remote.
So while I was selecting music to listen to via Spotify, the volume on the receiver was being increased by the Samsung smart remote to 100+ max. Not having seen this, I hit play and got a earful, damaged some speakers, gave my family a heart attack and I've still got ringing in my ears from this, despite it being brief but extremely alarming.
I shut off everything and then powered up the Samsung and then the receiver, and watched the volume increase again.
Pressing the volume down button once stops the increase. Pressing the volume up for a few seconds then releasing, causes the volume to increase on it's own until you press up or down once.
It's never done this before since I've owned it, suddenly now it's starting up on it's own like this which is not good and the TV is not to be used until this is corrected as having your receiver turned up to 100 without your knowing ( there was no visual on the set to confirm) is a problem!
