How to Reset Samsung TV Remote [Simple Methods]

by admin September 9, 2022 0 Comment 12 min read

The Samsung TV remote that comes with the TV may not work for various reasons, including wear and tear. Some of the reasons can be physical damage, slight pairing problems, poor battery, or issues with the remote infrared sensor or TV. It is also possible for the remote to stop working if the control pad is defective. Even if you replace the old batteries with newer ones, they may not work at some point. That is when you might finally try to reset the Samsung TV remote.

Pair the Smart Remote

If you have a Samsung Smart Remote, you must pair the remote with the TV whenever you use it. The Samsung TV remote will not work if you forget to pair it. However, you can simply press and hold the Return and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds. You will see the notification as connected if the remote pairing is successful.
