Using the Samsung Smart TV Remote

Introduced in 2022 the 14 button solar powered remote is now standard on most Samsung Smart TVs. While some balk at the absence of a keypad and dedicated controls for many functions, the new remote could be better or did Samsung make a mistake. Join us as we explore the Samsung SolarCell remote buttons and show you how it works with the Samsung S90C.

The fact I've had this remote and couldn't use the volume function because it wasn't made clear that it was a 3way button. Thank you for pointing that function out. Great work much appreciated

I know most people didn't read manuals, so we know get little to no useful instructions, but a good one sheet on the remote would have been nice. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write.

Question. When I push down on the volume toggle for mute I instead get a message “receiver (optical). Is this because I’m using a Sonos soundbar? Can I make it work with Samsung?

[@cfldriven]

@@hezbrookes Heather, the optical audio gain output is fixed, thus it has to be control at the soundbar. Do a search to see if your Sonos is compatible with the Samsung remote. This link might be useful www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00049279/

Wanted more info on recording a program, moving the closed caption text to bottom of screen instead of middle & creating a favorite channel list. Liked that he went over every button & told it’s function

Leona, unfortunately in the USA you can not record programs with this TV as you can in other countries. However you can use a DVR like the Tablo TV kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHvKcpqrZpJnbNE. Thank you for watching and writing in.

Thank you for the video - well explained and great examples. I recently got off of Comcast once and for all and went into the streaming world. We use FuboTV and with Comcast we lost a lot of functionality that we were used to. Showcasing the pause and rewind was exactly what I was looking for. Universal Remotes are either too expensive or not what I'm looking for. Decided to learn the remote that came with the TV and pray that it works. After watching this video, I feel confident going forward. Not to mention the video was not long winded, and over explaining a how-to video.

Peter, thank you for watching and taking the time to provide such wonderful feedback.

This was a really good video! Being lazy, I just plugged in my Roku, since I already knew how to use it. March Madness required me to use KZbin tv app on the tv, (it does’t play nice with Roku). The rewind / backup & fast forward was what I was looking for. You gave really good info! I’m going to watch your video again when I have more time. Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍

lzh, I use the Roku for the Tablo dvr. I do like the Roku can power on the Onkyo and Samsung. Thanks for watching and you're welcome to come back and watch as much as you want. You can even hit the subscribe button.

[@namkha2000]

don't see you show how to display channel list so one can create a favorites list ... have to do it with the old remote

[@cfldriven]

Per your request I have answered your question here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nILNeGuIZbhooKc Enjoy!

Where is located the power plug

[@cfldriven]

To recharge the remote you either place it with the solar panel facing a light or you can plug a power cable to the charging port located at the bottom edge of the remote.
