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.
