Universal Remote Setup
"
Availability depends on the specific model and area.
The universal remote control feature lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theatres, and
other external devices connected to the TV using the TV's remote control. In order to use the TV's
remote control as a universal remote, you must first connect the IR extender cable (included).
"
You can also use the (HDMI-CEC) function to operate some external Samsung devices with your
TV's remote control without any additional setup. Refer to the "Using (HDMI-CEC)" section for
more information.
"
Certain external devices connected to the TV may not support the universal remote feature.
Setting Up the Universal Remote Control
Before connecting any external devices and cables to the TV, first verify the model number of
the purchased TV. A sticker containing the model number is attached to the back of the TV. The
connection method varies depending on the model.
To use the TV remote as a universal remote, connect the IR extender cable (included) to the TV and
position it within 10 cm of the external device's remote control receiver.
"
The colour and design of the IR extender cable may vary depending on the model.
"
When you connect the cable, you have to match the cable’s colour and socket’s colour.
Connect the IR extender cable to the TV's IR output connector as shown in the diagram and place the
transmitter end within 10 cm of the external device's receiver pointing in the direction of the remote
receiver. However, there must be no obstacles between the IR extender cable and the external device.
The presence of obstacles interferes with the transmission of the remote control signal.
"
When you use an external device registered with the Universal Remote Control on the Samsung Smart
Control, you can use the external device without connecting an IR extender cable. However, if you want to
use an external device using
Motion Control
or
Voice Control
, be sure to connect an IR extender cable.
