Sir, I got to say, I thought this was a lame description of basic things in the beginning. After watching half the videog, I realised that a learnt every possible detail that I needed and wanted more, and by the end of it I was totally informed about the thing that I wanted to know about. No ads, no filler, no bullsh**. Just a very informative video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Tom, you're a lifesaver. Thank you from an old lady who was so muddled with this remote that while trying to navigate it I found I could still use my original remote for certain functions. So now I use both but you have at least cleared up some of the problems. Samsung my advice to you is "if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!"

Thank you for this! We have been struggling with our remote and after watching this can finally can use it properly.

I would have never figured out that you pull up and down on those middle buttons! Thanks!

RE: Samsung 2023 large screen 4k TVs. In addition to being ridiculously complicated, there are 6 more points to consider: 1. For anyone over 35 to 40, you likely require reading glasses to see newspaper print; the type size on these new Samsung remotes is smaller than newsprint and too small to read w/o glasses or microscope for anyone over 35 to 40; likewise, there is little contrast between the colors for the tiny buttons, which don't stand out from the very dark background. 2. The solid black remote is simply too small for anyone with medium sized hands or larger; and too dark and small to find when it gets lost, as remotes inevitably do. This is why Roku remotes come with a 10" long purple cord attached, so you can see them at a glance and retrieve them easily. I have an expensive British soundbar which came with an even smaller, very tiny black remote with confusing, poorly labeled buttons. As was inevitable, it has been lost for 2 or 3 years. The company simply refuses to sell replacement remotes, requiring purchasers to buy and use universal remotes designed for the European market. I live in the USA, so the company's specified universal remote is not sold here. That soundbar is now a boat anchor. The catfish love it. 3. The 2023 user manuals are not printed, but only available on the TV screen, unless you want to find and access yours on the Internet using a large iPad or a regular laptop or desktop computer, and if you have one - your printer. Since it has about 270 pages, give or take, you can waste money, printer paper, ink cartridges or toner, and lots of your time printing it out, and then binding it. A printed, English copy of the manual should have been in the box. 4. Older Samsung remotes for its HD TVs were well-designed and well-made, and will control 93% of the available functions on these new models. However, you will still need the new remote, if you can find it, to work the other 7% of the functions. 5. I bought my 2023 70" Samsung directly from the factory, at considerable savings. My prior TV, which still works great, is one of Samsung's last 65" Plasma models, which was made over 10 years ago. I bought it directly from Samsung and it came with a printed user manual. it's never missed a beat or been in for service, but it doesn't have 4K resolution. After getting this 2023 model, the picture, especially of sporting events, is much sharper if all the settings are just right, and much worse if they are set incorrectly. 6. The only way for non-engineers over the age of 30 to learn to use any remote with the 2023 Samsung models is to go to KZfaq, which is why you are watching this video on this channel and reading my comment to it.

appreciate this info, mate! I couldn't figure out volume n channel switching. felt dumb yet really glad i now know.

Thanks for the video. You saved me a lot of time 👍

Excellent tip. Thanks.

Yesterday I bought a Samsung TV and when I saw the remote, I became immediately confused that I didn't see any number buttons on the small remote.. I'm 70 years young and the remote is definitely not user friendly. Your video is very informative and I do wish I would have seen it before, I returned the TV to the store today. I'll go back to LG which is more user friendly.

Thank you, very helpful video.

Appreciate the video, I am no spring chicken, first use of the remote I thought WTF, after using it a few days I really like it, just could not figure how to get the guide up, had it by accident at one point, could not figure out what I did, but I still like it a lot, and now got that sorted by watching your video I am a happy chappy.

You made a very informative video. I am saving it. Thank you.

Hi Tom Thank you, I have just bough a Samsung Qled TV yesterday with the a new style of remote, I was totally confused, but what I,m angry about is there is no user guide supplied so I have to spend valuable time searching on KZfaq/computer, on how to operate the dam thing. Samsung if this is how you treat your customers , I will buy another brand next time.

Now I can enjoy my TV. Thank you!

I'm 17 but sometimes I too can't understand these new remotes. Thanks for the help!

Thank you this video was very helpful

Just got the new tv tonight. Too tired to watch it tonight. Will watch it tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

The information instructions manual is really stupid about the remote controls so Thank you very much you explained it perfectly

Thank you so much finally I got this informational video👍

Thanks it’s really helpful

Sir Thank you very much.

Yeah, it’s a little difficult to use but once you figure it out it’ll be easy. Good luck thanks for watching. Happy holidays.

You explaine very well. I think the other remote controls are better. I got this tv for free, but it was expensive to get a guy home to even start the tv.

Just bought the same remote ( universal) on amazon dirt cheap , batteries in . changed my life with the tv . runs my fire cube & stick tv just like your video says . Makes a 20 min cluster f**k . as simple as push back , home or guide . you opened up things to explore . I have added about 10 apps ( from the app store ) curser to bottom of your apps . and if you have a Brain F* rt .and lost . and Alexa voice will save you ( alexa go to settings :)

I’ll have to do some research on that

Use your remote to go into settings and make sure that the audio is set on TV speakers and not optical or Bluetooth and come back and try your remote again remember to make the mute music or sound go higher you slide your finger under the bar and push it towards the top and vice versa for it to go down. Good luck. Thanks for watching. Oh also make sure it’s not muted, because if you push on the bar, it mute the TV

Ok thxs ur page was helpful

I am awfully good with technology, even the newest stuff, so I figured out how to use this tiny unfamiliar remote EXCEPT FOR THE VOLUME. I actually reprogrammed my cable box remote to operate this tv entirely because I couldn't figure out the volume controls. Mute was easy but turning volume up or down seemed IMPOSSIBLE with the included remote. Odds are I would never have figured it out, so thank you A MILLION TIMES over for showing how the volume works!! ❤❤❤🎉

I freely admit that I am a senior non-techy person. This Samsung One remote (solar charged) is very hard for me to figure out. I am trying to schedule some programs to record. My manual says to push the 123 button (did that) and navigate to the "control pad." I am a literal person: among the 10-15 icons that appear at the bottom of the screen, there is NO "control pad." How do I get there? Where is it? What does it look like? (Videos are the most helpful instruction method for me) Do I need to connect an external device to store these recordings, or are they just kept somewhere I can access them (like the Cloud? Internal in my smart TV?)? HELP! And thank you.

hey thanks that was very helpful..can we change the assigned buttons like change netflix to apple +?

You showed how to pause a movie you're streaming and turn on subtitles, but what if you want to fast forward or rewind? The old remotes had buttons for that.

When I first received the TV and remote, I plugged the remote into my USB-C with the charging block and left it charge overnight. Then I just kept it under a lamp and made sure that the solar panel was facing up and it’s worked great since then you may have a faulty unit and have to get a new one. Good luck thank you for watching. Happy holidays.

Why design a remote that needs a KZfaq to explain how it works. Utter stupidity from Samsung. I cannot work out how to turn the sound up.

I seriously never thought Id need video for control but trying to figure out this one needed it haha. Still not sure what the 123 and 4 color button do.

Thanks

THANK YOU WHOLE BIG BUNCHES for showing me how to adjust the Volume !! Added Note after 2 months.... I keep " MISPLACING " this DINKY Remote !!! It's VERY HARD to keep track of it due to its DINKY SMALL size ! VERY FRUSTRATING !!!

Thank you! I couldn't find it😅

Just got our new TV yesterday. Have ask the technician for help but forgot to ask how to you do a space after a word. Can't seem to do it. Any help is appreciated.

How does one connect a Roku stcik to Samsung a QNC60-32" in our study...The other 2 Samsung's we have use ROKU..Love them!. By the way very good review, Sir!

On the top right of remote there is a button with multiple pictures on it is the PIP? Also on mine which I just got I have to have volume in high 40s to hear tv. Is that normal? Very good video.

Yeah, that is a detriment to this system unfortunately but if you have Comcast or spectrum or some other system that you put an input on, you could use the remote and go through the channels

Tom I just use ultachromecast to watch you tube, some videos don't fill the whole screen & how do I get rid of the voice when you adjust the volume? Pls help. Thanks! 9:05

How do i change the home button to default to a specific input port? I have my fire tv connected to hdmi2 . My older Samsung home screen goes to my firetv

The buttons dont even light up? Damn..

Great video! So useful. But where are the numbers? 😥

Funny the one thing you did not show..Is the one thing i wanted to know..How to change the volume with my remote..No matter what i press on the remote the volume never changes..Never had this problem with any other remote..STRANGE.

Do you have to have ALEXA or ROKU to use voice commands?

If you press the mic can you have it take you to the directv app?

hi mate, , so when you turn on the tv it doesnt open to the channel but to the home page? can you change this , thank you

How do you rewind and forward a show

How do you close applications such as KZfaq, Netflix, etc.?

There's no option for when switched on it goes directly to the last source? Do we have to always enter in the menu?

2 Questions and complaints. Why can’t we change the channels the normal way by hitting the number buttons. I now have to spend 10 seconds to go from the news to weather channel, or to Fox to watch football? Do I have to see if I can return this TV? My old tv, which was a Samsung had buttons so I could flip channels on commercial breaks. I can’t believe I spent over $2000 on this awesome tv instantly turned crappy. Is there a way I can do it or a good reason why I can’t flip channels or switch channels fast, I’m tempted to post on Facebook to get a Sony.

Some videos can't forward or rewind when using usb, and that videos automatically exit watching time any solution samsung tizen os

Hi sir, how's the performance of samsung qled q60c 43" TV??

How do you pull up the channel guide?

Yep they don’t really give you a lot of information. You have to go online.

We have the same TV. My problem is after awhile we accidentally sat on the TV remote 😅 and now every move we want to make, it will start bluetooth pairing. We tried to stop it but it doesn't work. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

where do i get this rechargeable version,

i went to look at tv's for my mom yesterday, and they warned me about this remote but didn't have any out. there is no way she is going to be able to work something like this. yikes. i wonder why they changed the design so much for a remote!!! now i either have to buy an older tv, a tv with lesser quality perks, or a universal remote which i don't know if she'll be able to understand either. are all tvs like this now?? or just samsung?

The old samsung remot control works from a smart Samsung?

hi m8 can you record? thx

whsrs the app for regular network tv

How to get a guide for the live tv?

how do i pair my remote?

When the remote is 3 to 4 years old, you'll have to throw away the television and the remote because the non-user replaceable battery cannot be changed. Never buy a television unless the remote uses AA or AAA batteries. You can put in the lithium tape and they will last 10 years. And you can change them easily.

How can i access to service menu with this remote ?

How do you turn off the voice on the channel guide , remote that tell you every channel program yand time that show plays. I cant figure it out on the remote ... it's very annoying.

Comments here are hilarious 😂😂😂

Actually there's not need to point the remote to the tv, it works in any orientation

My Samsung TV was full screen when I was watching. I didn't know what I have touched then the screen changed. It had black on top and at the bottom of screen. What would like to know how can I get it back to full screen.

I'm looking for a remote that has the "LAST CHANNEL KEY", I have a Samsung Smart TV QLED 55"

but how to add channels to your favorites. i cant figure it out

How do you search for something? I can’t get a keyword to pop up ?

Honestly, these “smart” remotes are like Apple devices: they work for simple tasks that the company wants you to do, but look out of you want to do more! I call them Idiot Remotes. Please bring back buttons and functions! We can handle it, I promise!

Worst for retaining battery, need it charge it almost every 2 days.

Damn, this is one of the worst remotes ever. Low cost, and nothing is intuitive. First of all, a smart TV is a TV and it's primary function is cable tv, not crap streaming services. Cable TV is far superior to any streaming service. The lack of TV buttons and quick menus is horrible. You have to use the idiotic minimalist confusing buttons on the remove to navigate intricate menus. Thank you for the video presenting this horrible product.

Plz give me the backlight instructions. 😮😮😊😊🎉🎉😂😂

How can i use the remote pointer?

Why Can't This Remote Power On My AVRX6700H And Samsung S95B SIMULTANEOUSLY???? But It Will SIMULTANEOUSLY POWER Them Both Off ( Samsung S95B Tv And Denon AVRX6700H) Strange!!!! I Just About Tried Everything 1 Can Imagine Too! But What Gives????

So hard to move from low channel to high channel

They could have invested more in the remote

So if I want to go to channel 55 - i need to click this + button fife times ? We number buttons it was so much easier and faster... c'mon!

I can’t make it to unmute

No voice typing?

I'm not able to get to the guide. Please give me an alternative method than what you've just demoed...

I just canceled an order for $2500 Samsung TV because I do not like the remote…….. I just want to watch regular TV and I like the old remotes

I think I'm pushing the right button but the volume isn't responding.

My whole remote doesn’t work when I try to charge it with the usb c it doesn’t work how do I fix that?

BLUE TUTH SEARCHING DEVICE What happened?

Do your research properly, it's not a infra-red remote knob jocky. It's bluetooth!

Whoops

my mic doesnt work on it neither does hulu or netflix button😅

How do I take it off mute

Lg magic remote is best

My tv controller does not connect to my tv it does not turn on or nothing

Too much work to watch TV😢

no listing fir cbs

My remote doesn’t work, red light doesn’t blink

What if your tv won't turn on
