How to Program Your Samsung TV Remote to Your Verizon Cable Box
Having too many remote controls can be frustrating, which is why many people are thrilled that their Samsung TV remote can also control their Verizon cable box. However, programming it can be a confusing and daunting task. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to accomplish that.
Step 1: Find the model of your Verizon box
Make sure you know the model of your Verizon cable box before beginning the process. You can find it printed on the device itself.
Step 2: Prepare your Samsung TV remote
Turn on your Samsung TV and press and hold the “Return” and “Exit” buttons for at least three seconds to unpair the remote from the TV. Once the indicator light flashes twice, you can proceed with programming it.
Step 3: Put your remote in Cable mode
To put your Samsung remote in Cable mode, press and hold the “Cable” button located at the top of the remote, until the button lights up.
Step 4: Program your remote
Now it is time to program your Samsung TV remote to control the Verizon box. You have two options to follow:
Option 1 – Auto Program:
Press and hold the “Set” button while also pressing the “OK” button at the same time. Then, enter the code “0000”. The Samsung remote will automatically search for the correct code, and the Verizon box will turn off to indicate that it has successfully found it.
Option 2 – Manual Programming:
If the automatic process fails, you can manually program the remote. First, go to the Verizon website and find the code for your specific model of the cable box. Then, press and hold the “Set” button while also pressing the “OK” button to access the programming mode. Use the number keys to enter the four-digit code you found on the Verizon website. Then, press “OK” to store the code.
Step 5: Verify the programming
After you have programmed the remote, press and hold the “Cable” button to verify that it is working. If the cable box powers on, your remote is now programmed and ready to use.
In conclusion, getting your Samsung TV remote to work with your Verizon cable box isn’t as hard as you think. With these simple steps, you can eliminate the need for multiple remotes and improve the convenience of your entertainment system. |
