The remote control is one of the most helpful devices in the house. Samsung TV remotes can become out of sync by accidentally pressing the wrong buttons and deprogramming the remote from the TV. When the remote control is out of sync with the TV, the remote will not operate the TV. In such a case, you need to reprogram your Samsung TV remote control to get it back in sync with the TV.

Press down on the "TV" button on the remote. Pressing the "TV" button tells the remote that it is pairing with a TV so that the remote gives out the appropriate signal during the syncing process.
