Today in our article we will look at the main characteristics of 2 types of remotes.

Push-button remotes for Samsung Smart TV are traditional in appearance models of devices for remote control of a household device. There are buttons along the entire upper surface of the device, by pressing which you can control the operation of the equipment. In this case, the buttons are grouped depending on what tasks they perform (for example, the buttons for adjusting the sound and switching channels are traditionally located next to each other).

The touch panels have modern controls. Despite the fact that they have a touchpad, buttons can also be found on the surface. In addition, the devices are equipped with elements such as a gyroscope and a built-in microphone. Thus, TV control is maximally modernized and automated. In terms of their external characteristics, touch controls are quite small, most often they are produced in a rectangular case (however, you can also find rounded and curved models).

It should be borne in mind that such remotes are quite expensive, so not everyone will be able to purchase such a device. Regardless of the specific type, all Samsung Smart TV remotes operate on the basis of wireless technologies (Bluetooth, infrared or radio). Powering is carried out by means of batteries, which need to be changed periodically.

The choice of the Samsung Smart TV remote control should be approached as attentively, responsibly and seriously as possible. This is the only way to choose a practical, functional and versatile appliance. So, first of all, when buying a remote control, you need to carefully study the modification of both the device itself and the TV. To do this, you should familiarize yourself with the marking, as well as the instruction manual.

Important! When buying a new remote control to replace the old one, you should not rely solely on the appearance of the device.

The thing is that Samsung's assortment includes quite similar models that can be easily confused with each other.

As for the choice of the remote control depending on the communication method, then it is recommended to give preference to models that work on the basis of an infrared connection and a radio channel (ideally, if the device combines both of these possibilities). The thing is that Bluetooth technology has a low level of stability.

To buy a device be sure to contact the brand stores and their official representatives. In this case, you can be sure that you are purchasing a quality device from the manufacturer, and not a cheap fake.

Pay attention to value for money... The thing is that due to the fact that Samsung is a world-famous company that has been loved and trusted by a large number of customers for many years, it is often possible to find remote control models on the market that have minimal functional content, but a high price. ... Thus, you are overpaying for a specific device, since you are purchasing a branded product.

Due to this it is recommended to carefully study the available models. If possible, give preference to devices from the middle price segment.

Once you have selected and purchased your Samsung Smart TV remote, read the operating instructions, which are part of the standard equipment. Through the information in this document, you will learn how to use the remote control: how to connect and configure it. Remote controls with buttons do not require any special complex configuration. You only need to insert the batteries.

On the other side, touch devices (for example, the Smart Touch Control model) need additional configuration. So, first you need to connect the remote control to the main household device - a special Power button is provided for this, and only after that you can use the device. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the process of setting up the remote control may differ depending on the specific model. Thus, read the manual carefully to avoid any difficulties.

During the operation of the Samsung Smart TV remote, various malfunctions and breakdowns may occur (for example, the remote has stopped working, the connection is lost, or the batteries run out quickly). The cause of these problems may be both internal (for example, wear of parts) and external causes (for example, mechanical damage).

So, first of all, it should be borne in mind that the remote control is recommended to be inspected and serviced. This procedure should be performed at least once a year. Maintenance mainly includes cleaning.To do this, the remote control must be disassembled.

By means of this unit, you need to unscrew the cover, remove the batteries and unscrew all the bolts. For the convenience of separating one half from the other, you can take a flat screwdriver. Next, you need to separate all small parts from the case: buttons, microcircuits, membrane, etc.

However, even though regular cleaning, which helps to reduce the risk of malfunctions, breakdowns may periodically appear. Moreover, you can eliminate some of them yourself, and in some cases you will have to seek help from a specialist. So, for example, if the TV does not respond to the remote control, then you need to change the batteries. If you replaced them, but only 1 button works - the power button, then you need to repeat the procedure for combining the remote control and the household device.

In case of more complex difficulties and problems, it is recommended to contact a specialist. This is especially true for such breakdowns that are associated with the appearance of extraneous background sounds. Under no circumstances should you start repairing the remote yourself if you do not have sufficient technical knowledge, as you can cause even more damage to your device.

Thus, we can conclude that Samsung Smart TV Remote Control is an essential accessory that no modern TV owner can do without.
