Operating a TV with the Remote Control

The remote control may not work on some brands of TVs. Also some operations may not be
possible depending on your brand of TV.

If you do not set the remote control with the code for your brand of TV, the remote control will
work on a Samsung TV by default.

When operating a TV with the remote control

1

Press the TV/DVD RECEIVER button to
make the TV indicator on the remote control
flash.

2

Press POWER button to turn on the TV.

3

Point the remote control toward the TV.

4

While holding down POWER, enter the code
corresponding to your brand of TV.

If the code matches the TV's code, the TV will be turned off.

If there is more than one code listed for your TV in the table, 
enter one at a time to determine which code works.

Example: For a Samsung TV
While holding down POWER, use the number buttons to enter 00,
01, 02, 03, 04, and 05.

You can use the TV POWER, VOLUME, CHANNEL, and Numeric
buttons (0~9).

5

Point the remote control toward the TV and
press POWER. If the TV turns off or on, the
setting is complete.
