TV Remote for Samsung TV - Samsung TV remote control

Introducing TV Remote for Samsung TV

This innovative app enables you to manage your Samsung Smart TV through the local network. Compatible with Samsung K-series Tizen TVs (2016 and later) as well as C, D, E, F, H, J models manufactured between 2010 and 2015 equipped with a network interface (LAN or WiFi).

ATTRACTIVE POINTS:

★ For C-Series TV (2010) featuring Internet TV functionality - Ensure that the "Remote Control" function within the TV settings is activated! Typically located at Menu -> System Settings. If this option is absent, unfortunately, your TV does not support remote control over the network.

★ D-Series models (2011) with AllShare Smart TV capability

★ E(S/H)-Series (2012) with AllShare Smart TV compatibility

★ F-Series (2013) with AllShare Smart TV integration

To successfully connect the app to your TV, it must be authorized as a permitted remote application in the Allshare settings of the TV. Upon initial connection, you will need to approve the prompt displayed on your TV screen. To adjust your selection post-declining the confirmation message ("accept device"), navigate to Menu -> Network -> AllShare Settings or Menu/Tools -> Network -> Expert Settings -> Mobile Device Manager.

★ For K-Series (2016+) Samsung Tizen models featuring MultiScreen Smart TV control, your phone should be configured as an authorized device in the Mobile Device Manager. If this app establishes a connection with your TV for the first time, acceptance of the message appearing on your TV is required. You can modify your choice afterwards by visiting: Menu -> Network -> Expert Settings -> Mobile Device Manager.

NB! It is crucial that your television and mobile device/tablet are linked to the same local network for this app to function. Connectivity is only possible when both devices are on the same local network!

We appreciate your download of this app. In case the app does not operate with your phone or TV, please don't hesitate to reach out via email.

Samsung Smart TV Remote Buttons Explained

1. Power Button: The red color button you see at the top of the remote is called the Power button. You can use this button to turn on or off the TV.

2. 123 Button or Numeric Keypad: Press the Numeric button to bring up the virtual numeric pad on your TV screen. You can use it to change the channel, enter a PIN, login credentials, etc. Whereas, on the older version of the Samsung Smart TV remote, you will find dedicated numeric buttons.

3. Home Button: Pressing this button will return you to your home screen.

4. Back Button: Press this button to go back to the previous screen or menu.

5. 4 Colored Buttons: this button is typically used for quick access to specific functions or features. They won’t work everywhere, but when they do, the on-screen menu will usually tell you what each colored button does.

Note: On newer Samsung TV remotes (1st – image), press the 123/color button simultaneously to use this feature.

6. Play/Pause Button: As the name suggests, this button will play or pause the video or music you’re playing on your Samsung TV.

7. Streaming App Buttons: In certain Samsung Smart TV remotes, you will find shortcut buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, Samsung TV Plus, or other streaming services. Pressing any of these buttons will launch the corresponding streaming app.

8. Directional Button: Use this button to navigate through on-screen menus on your TV. On the older-style Samsung remote, you will find four directional arrows. Whereas, in the newer and more modern models, you will get a single circular button.

For example, pressing the top or bottom part of the circle or arrow keys will let you scroll up and down respectively.

9. + and – Button: Use this button to control the volume of your TV. Move the button up or down to increase or decrease the volume. Whereas, to mute the sound, press the button.

In the older model, you will find a dedicated button to mute the TV sound.

10. Up and Down Arrow Button: Move the button up or down to change the channel on your TV.

11. Button Inside the Circle or Directional Arrow: Consider this button as the Select button. You can use it to select the currently highlighted item on your TV screen. You can even use it to play/pause the media.

12. Mic Button: Use this button to activate the Voice Assistant on your smart TV. By default, Bixby will be your voice assistant. However, you can switch to other voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant through your TV’s settings.

13. Rectangle Button With Plus Sign: Press this button to enter the Multi-View function. If you’re not familiar with the Multi-View feature, it allows you to enjoy various forms of content simultaneously, including live channels, apps, games, and mirrored content from your mobile device.

Furthermore, if you press this button for more than 1 second, it will display a menu screen.

14. Source Button: Press this button to select the available video sources. For example, if you’ve connected your PC or gaming console through HDMI, you can use this button to switch between different video sources.

15. Cog or Gear Icon: In some Samsung TV Remotes, you will also get the Gear/Cog icon above the Colored Buttons and the 123 Button. Pressing it will grant you quick access to Samsung TV menus.
