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/

I agree while it takes a while to get used to, I find the slimmed down remote easier to use. I only wish it used replaceable batteries and not the solar panel gimmick.

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 KZitem 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!👍👍👍

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.

For KZitem I believe pressing and holding the left side of ring will rewind. Sometimes you have to pause first and press up on the ring to engage a timeline before pressing left side of ring as with the Tablo app kzitem.info/news/bejne/laCKvomHaX5ian4.

It could be the remote is not paired with TV. Press and hold the Return and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously. A message will appear on your TV screen showing the progress of the pairing process. After a few seconds, an icon of a remote and battery will appear, this indicates the pairing process is complete and the Smart Remote is ready to use.
