Samsung’s TV remotes have long been renowned for their functionality and sleek design; with the latest iteration, it has become even more so. However, those who have recently purchased a set top box (STB) may face some confusion at first – what if the TV remote no longer controls the STB? In this article, we’re going to go over the steps involved in using your Samsung TV remote for your set top box.
First, the TV must be turned on and the appropriate input source must be selected. Then, press the settings button on the remote and scroll down to “Universal Remote.” From there, select “Set Up Universal Remote,” and choose “Set Top Box” from the list of options.
Next, you will need to know the model number of your set top box. You can usually find this information on the STB itself or in the manual that came with it. Once you have the model number, enter it into the on-screen prompt on your TV.
After the initial set-up, you should be able to use your Samsung TV remote to control your set top box. However, in some cases, you may need to manually program the remote. To do so, press and hold the “setup” button until the “TV” button blinks twice. Enter the code for your specific STB model, which can often be found in the remote or in the STB manual.
If none of these steps work, then it may be necessary to purchase a separate remote for your set top box. However, for most users, following these steps should allow for easy control of their STB with their Samsung TV remote.
In conclusion, using your Samsung TV remote to control your set top box is simple and easy with just a few steps to follow. Always keep in mind that knowing the model number of your STB is crucial, and proper programming may be necessary. By following these steps, you can fully utilize your Samsung TV remote and have a seamless entertainment experience. |
