Basic Setting Up Your Remote Control
Sometimes you don’t need codes, sometimes you can just do the basic set up and have it up and running. The setup process becomes important to ensure your remote functions correctly with your devices.
1. Understand Your Remote: Familiarize yourself with your remote control’s features, including the power button, setup button, and buttons specific to your TV brands such as Samsung or RCA.

4. TV Brand Codes: To link the remote with your TV, find the exact code match. Consult the code list provided by your remote control, seeking the code specific to your TV brand (Samsung, RCA, LG, etc.).
