Using the Remote Control to Control External Devices

MENU > System > Universal Remote Setup

The universal remote control feature lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theaters, and other third-party external devices connected to the TV using the TV’s remote control. For each external device you want to control, you must run the universal remote setup process. The first step in the process is connecting the IR extender cable (included) to the TV and positioning the transmitter end of the cable in front of the device you want to control.

Connecting the IR Extender Cable

• The color and design of the IR extender cable may vary depending on the model.

To begin the universal remote set up process, connect the IR extender cable (included) to the TV’s IR output connector as shown in the diagram, and then position the transmitter end within 4 inches (10 cm) of the external device’s remote control sensor, pointing in the direction of the sensor.

There can be no obstacles between the transmitter end of the IR extender cable and the external device. Any obstacles will interfere with the transmission of the remote control signals.

Setting Up the Universal Remote Control

• If you want to control a set-top box, you need to have your zip code and your cable provider’s name and location on hand before you begin. If you want to control a Blu-ray player or home theater, you need the manufacturer’s name and model number.

1. Turn on the external device you want to control with the universal remote function.
2. Press the SOURCE button on your remote to bring up the Source screen.
3. Select the Universal Remote Setup icon.
   ‐ You can also start Universal Remote Setup through the TV’s menu. Navigate to System > Universal Remote Setup.
4. The TV checks if the IR extender cable is connected. If it confirms the connection, press the button.
5. Select the type of device you want to control – set-top box, Blu-ray player, or home theater.
6. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the setup and register the device. The directions will be different, depending on the device you want to control.
7. Once setup is complete and you have confirmed that you can use the TV remote to control the device, disconnect the IR extender cable from the TV and set it aside. You can now control the device directly with your remote.

Controlling an External Device with the TV Remote

During the universal remote set-up process, the TV registers the connector (source) to which the external device is connected. To control a registered external device with your TV’s remote, select the external device on the Source List.

1. Press the SOURCE button on your remote.
2. Select the source the device is connected to (HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.).
3. Control the device with the remote. For example, if the device is a set-top box, press the channel buttons on the remote to change the channel.

For information on additional functions, see “Controlling External Devices with the TV Remote – Using the Universal Remote” in the e-Manual.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Troubleshooting

If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solutions. Also, review the Troubleshooting Section in the e-Manual. If none of the troubleshooting tips apply, visit www.samsung.com/support or call Samsung Customer Service at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864).

Flickering and Dimming

• Try disabling some of the TV’s energy efficiency features.
• Disable Energy Saving (System > Eco Solution > Eco Sensor) and/or Energy Saving (System > Eco Solution > Energy Saving) and check again.

Screen Color is Not Correct

• Run a Self-Diagnosis Picture Test (Support > Self-Diagnosis> Picture Test).
• If the picture problem is caused by the TV, the problem should be visible in the Picture Test. If the problem is not visible, next confirm that the TV’s video input ports are connected to the correct external video device output ports and that none of the connections are loose. Finally, if possible, test your external video devices by connecting them to another TV.

Screen Brightness

• Adjust the following settings:
• Navigate to Picture and adjust Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint (G/R), and other picture quality adjustment settings.

Blurred Images

• Turn on Auto Motion Plus (Picture > Picture Options > Auto Motion Plus).

Unwanted Powering Off

• Check if Sleep Timer (System > Time > Sleep Timer) has been enabled. Sleep Timer automatically turns off the TV after the amount of time that you select. If the Sleep Timer has not been enabled, see if No Signal Power Off (System > Eco Solution > No Signal Power Off) or Auto Power Off (System > Eco Solution > Auto Power Off) has been enabled. No Signal Power Off turns off the TV if no signal has been received by the TV for a specified period. Auto Power Off turns off the TV if there has been no user input for four hours.

Trouble Powering On

• Confirm that the power cord is connected and that the remote has live batteries and is functioning correctly. If the power cord is connected properly and the remote control is operating normally, there might be a problem with the antenna cable connection, or the cable/satellite box might not be turned on. Check the antenna connection or turn on the cable/satellite box.

Stand Assembly

• If you have any trouble assembling the stand, review the stand assembly instructions in the Quick Start Guide.

Cannot find a Channel

• Re-run Setup (Go to MENU > System > Setup) or run Auto Program. (Go to MENU > Broadcasting > Auto Program).

For detailed troubleshooting information, watch the troubleshooting videos at www.samsung.com/spsn.

• Make sure your connected devices are powered on.
• Be sure to select the correct input source.
• Reboot the connected device by unplugging it and then reconnecting the device’s power cable.

Network Troubleshooting

How to Improve Your Wireless Signal

Position your wireless router, modem router, or access point in a central location.

The best place for a Wi-Fi router is in the center of your home.

If that is not possible, move it as close to the center of your home as possible. Avoid putting it in a corner.
