How To Connect Samsung Smart Remote
Samsung’s Smart Remote is quite functional and of high quality.
Follow these procedures if you ever need to pair your Samsung remote with your TV:
- Point the remote control at the television.
- Press down and hold the Return and Play buttons for at least five seconds.
- Now, the television will begin to pair with the Smart remote.
- Check your television for a notification stating that the remote has been paired.
- To verify that the remote was properly linked to the TV, try controlling all of its functions.
If adjusting the volume causes the remote to become unresponsive, consider replacing the batteries.
Code Search
The code search method is the simplest since the TV will immediately locate the remote’s code in its database.
This method is also the quickest, as the television can process codes faster than you can, so use it to connect your universal remote:
- Check that the television is turned on.
- To use the TV button on the remote, push the TV button.
- Hold down the Setup button until the TV’s indicator light blinks twice.
- Enter 9-1-1. The light will resume blinking.
- Aim the remote at the television and press the power button.
- Press down the Channel Up button until the television switches off.
- To restart the television, hit the remote’s power button.
- To validate the code, press the Setup button again.
Manual Code Entry
- Check that the television is turned on.
- To use the TV button on the remote, push the TV button.
- Hold down the Setup button until the TV’s indicator light blinks twice.
- You can obtain the code for your remote in the next section.
- When the code is correct, the LED will flash twice. If not, repeat the preceding steps until you identify the correct one.
Press down the TV button once, followed by the Setup button. When the LED blinks twice more, you must release the Setup button.
After pairing your TV using one of these methods, test its functionality by controlling it and ensuring that all of its features are operational.

Other FAQs
How can I locate the remote code for my Samsung television?
Use the code search function to locate the code for the universal remote you’re attempting to pair. If you want to manually enter the code, you can also consult the relevant portions of this post to determine what it is.
How can I factory reset my Samsung TV?
If you’re experiencing issues with your Samsung TV, sometimes a factory reset can help. This will erase all of your settings and restore the TV to its original state. Here’s how to do it:
- Turn on your Samsung TV.
- Using your remote, navigate to “Settings” and select “Support.”
- Select “Self Diagnosis” and then “Reset.”
- Enter your TV’s security PIN. If you haven’t set one up, the default is “0000.”
- Select “Yes” to confirm that you want to reset your TV.
And that’s it! Your Samsung TV will now be reset to its factory settings, and you can start fresh with a clean slate. Just keep in mind that this will erase all of your settings and data, so make sure to back up anything important before you do the reset.
Conclusion
Universal remotes are packed with features and provide significant value to your TV viewing experience.
However, I would still recommend using the Samsung universal remote, especially for people who aren’t particularly tech-savvy or who don’t have the time to go through a relatively complex setup process.
Using a Samsung Smart remote eliminates the need to enter a code or search for it.
If your Samsung television doesn’t support the Smart remote, consider upgrading to a newer model.
