scope: australian Samsung smart remote and device combinations using return and play/pause. the uk video is a tv example.

when to get help

  • do not apply this sequence to an unconfirmed aftermarket remote or try arbitrary factory-reset button combinations. a failed connection needs the correct device and remote instructions, not more guessed sequences.

steps

  1. check the remote and device

    confirm the remote reference is supported by the tv or monitor. charge it first if it is rechargeable.

  2. start pairing

    point the remote at the device's remote sensor. where the documented buttons are return and play/pause, hold them together for at least three seconds.

  3. wait for confirmation

    look for the device's connection message. if the buttons differ or no message appears, use that model's manual or contact Samsung support.
