Still Can’t Pair Your Samsung Remote?
Check sure the remote is providing an infrared (IR) signal to the TV if pairing fails but no error message appears on the screen.
You won’t be able to see the infrared signals being transmitted by your Samsung remote control, but the camera app on your phone will pick them up.
Here’s how to verify that the IR signal is being sent from your Samsung remote:
- The camera app needs to be launched.
- A frontal image of the remote can be captured using the camera on your phone, so aim it at the screen.
- Select an action on the remote control, such as power or volume.
- The IR transmitter will light up in your camera app if the remote transmits a signal.
The Samsung Smart Touch Remote — How Do I Set It Up?
The Samsung Smart Touch Remote integrates infrared (IR) and wireless (Bluetooth) technology. Only the power button has an infrared (IR) emitter; the others use Bluetooth to communicate with the TV. That means the remote can turn the TV on and off even if it isn’t paired; however, if the TV turns on but none of the other buttons work, pairing the remote is necessary.
The Samsung Smart Touch Remote can be paired in the following ways:
- Start up the TV.
- Keep the remote pointed at the TV’s infrared receiver as you go through the pairing process.
- For a total of three seconds, press and hold the Return and Guide buttons simultaneously on your remote.
- Keep your eyes on the TV’s bottom right corner.
- A green circle will appear in the right-hand corner of the screen if the matching is successful.
