This function may not be available depending on the country or region.
The universal remote control feature lets you control cable boxes, Blu-ray players, home theaters,
and other third-party external devices connected to the TV using the TV's remote control. For each
external device you want to control, you must run the universal remote set up process. The first step
in the process is connecting the IR extender cable (included) to the TV and positioning the transmitter
end of the cable in front of the device you want to control.

You can also use the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) function to operate external Samsung devices with your TV's
remote control without any additional setup. Refer to the "Using Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC)" section for more
information.

Certain external devices connected to the TV may not support the universal remote feature.
Connecting the IR Extender Cable
"
The color and design of the IR extender cable may vary depending on the model.
To begin the universal remote set up process, connect the IR extender cable (included) to the TV's IR
output connector as shown in the diagram. Then, position the transmitter end within 4 inches (10 cm)
of the external device's remote control sensor, pointing in the direction of the sensor.
There can be no obstacles between the transmitter end of the IR extender cable and the external
device. Any obstacles will interfere with the transmission of the remote control signals.
