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.

Turn off the TV you are programing the remote for. The TV needs to be turned off for the syncing process to be completed. Even though it's turned off, the TV still catches the signal from the remote control.

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.

Use a paper clip, tooth pick, or any other item with a thin tip to press down on the tiny indented "Set" button at the bottom of the remote control.

Use the link in the resource section to find the code for your TV. Type in the 3-digit code on the number pad of the remote. If the first code doesn't take, continue down the code list until you find a code that works.

Press the "Power" button on the remote. If the TV turns on, it means the code worked, but if the TV does not turn on, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the TV turns on from the remote.
1. Flip the remote
Take the remote and turn it to the other side. You will notice the back side of the remote exposed.
2. Locate the down arrow The down arrow is situated at the bottom of the remote. Use it to open up the back side of the remote.
3. Insert batteries After opening the back side of the remote, insert two batteries into the space. This will power the remote.
4. Aim the IR sensor Point the remote towards the TV and keep a distance of 12 inches from the screen. When the remote is activated for the first time, it will try to pair up with the TV automatically.
5. Press any button You are expected to press any button on the remote other than the Power button. This will display pairing related information on the left bottom portion of the screen.
6. Wait for pairing to finish Wait for the pairing attempt to finish. If the pairing is successful, then your remote is now paired and ready for use. If the pairing is unsuccessful, then go forward with manual operations.
7. Press the Return and Extra buttons simultaneously Locate both the buttons on the TV remote and hold them simultaneously for 3 seconds. Pairing information will pop up at the lower left portion of the screen.
8. Wait for pairing to finish Wait for the pairing procedure to end. This might take some time. When the remote is paired, it will be displayed on the screen.
