How To Locate Samsung Universal Remote Codes
Finding the correct code for your Samsung TV doesn’t have to be a headache.
For newer Samsung TVs: Just grab your remote and go to Settings > Support > About This TV. There, you’ll see your TV’s model code, which helps you find the exact remote code needed.
For older TVs: Take a look at the back of your TV. There should be a label with the model number. Use that number to match your remote with one of the universal codes (check the list of codes below).
Still unsure? No worries! You can try the auto code search method or learning mode on your remote to make the process even easier. For some universal remote control, it’s easy to spot the Code Search button on it. However, for other types, you have to use the Setup button instead.

How To Set Up Samsung TV Remote With Codes
Follow these simple steps to program your remote using the 4-digit and 5-digit codes above:
1. Turn on your Samsung TV: Make sure the TV is powered on and within range of the remote.
2. Press the TV button on the universal remote: This tells the remote you’re pairing it with a television.
3. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the Setup button until the red LED light on the remote turns on and stays solid.
4. Input the code: Using the number buttons on the remote, enter the code that matches your TV model (use one from the code list above).
5. Check the code: If the code is correct, the LED light will blink twice and then turn off. If not, repeat the process using another code from the list.
6. Test the remote: Try pressing the power, volume, and input buttons to ensure the remote is working properly with your TV.
Can I Program The Remote Without Codes?
Yes, you can! Not all Samsung TVs require manual code entry to connect with a universal remote. Depending on the remote type and your TV model, there are a few hassle-free methods you can use to set things up:
Some Samsung TV Remotes Are Ready To Use Out Of The Box
Samsung’s own universal remotes often pair automatically with compatible TVs. Here’s how to check and activate it:
- Press the Home button on your Samsung TV remote.
- Navigate to Connected Devices > Universal Remote.
- Select Start, choose your device type, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: This setup menu location may vary by model year. For example, 2023–2024 TVs use Connected Devices > Universal Remote. Meanwhile, older TVs (2016–2021) use Home > Source > Universal Remote.
Use The Learning Mode
Some universal remotes feature a Learning Mode that lets you clone commands from your original Samsung remote. This is useful if you’ve lost the manual but still have the old remote. Here’s how to use it:
- Place both remotes on a flat surface, facing each other.
- Press the button on the universal remote where you want to store the command.
- On the Samsung remote, press the button to “teach” the command.
- Point the universal remote at your TV and press the programmed button to test.
- Repeat for all functions you want to clone.
Use Your Smartphone As A Remote Control
If you don’t have a remote at all, your smartphone can do the job! However, you need a supporting app to pair your smartphone with the TV.
- Download the SmartThings app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Tap + > Add Device. Select TV and then Samsung.
- Choose TV again and select Start.
- Once paired, select Remote Control to begin controlling the TV with your phone.
Note: If you own a pre-2020 Samsung TV, you will need a PIN to pair your smartphone with the TV.
