Connect your Samsung Smart Remote to your TV

Last Update date : Jun 03. 2025

The Samsung Smart Remote is designed to connect to your Samsung Smart TV automatically to make setup easy and convenient. While you can sync the remote with another Samsung TV at any time, it is designed to operate with only one TV at a time. To use it with multiple TVs, you will have to manually pair it with your desired TV each time you switch.
