Solution
BD player connects to TV with HDMI. Turn BD player on.
Select the HDMI input you connected it to with the TV remote. After a few seconds you should see the BD player splash screen. If you don't see the splash screen check that you selected the correct input and that the player powers up.
Open the drawer, put in the DVD, press play.
After the disc loads you should see a menu. Select play or enter depending on the disc.
You can also try a different source to may sure that the HDMI input on the TV is OK.

So the Bluray player is a Samsung external device as well I am assuming?

Scratched or unclean disk or looks in good condition? If dirty - clean it.

Is the Bluray player connected to the television properly and displaying menu options? If not check the (assuming HDMI) connection.

Is the disk the right region for the player? Samsung players are region locked and won't play disks for other regions.

If all of the above is OK then you might like to try updating the firmware version of the player (for which you will need an internet connection):

1) Remove disk if there is one in there
2) Press the MENU button on the remote control and select Settings
3) Select Support -> Software Upgrade -> By Internet
4) Prompt should appear on TV about player connection to server
5) If firmware available then automatic download will start -> Once complete another dialog box should appear
6) Select Upgrade Now -> install will proceed and device will restart after boot completion -> new firmware should now be installed

WARNING: DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS ONCE IT HAS STARTED OR YOU MIGHT HAVE AN EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT

Good luck :)
