No matter your situation, we'll help you enjoy your favorite shows and movies again, even without your original remote control.

Find a replacement remote control for your Samsung TV or projector

Purchase a replacement remote

Remotes are not sold on Samsung.com; they are instead available on our parts website, samsungparts.com. There are many models of remotes (all with slight variations), but you can find the exact remote your TV/projector came with by searching for your model number and then scrolling through the list until you see the remote.

If you need help finding your model number, you can use the model number tool on our Support Site or check out our guide to TV model numbers.

You can also purchase a universal remote. Most universal remotes will work with your Samsung TV or projector as well, such as those found on Amazon or possibly even the remote that was included with your cable or satellite box. If you buy a universal remote, make sure the remote says it is compatible with Samsung before you buy it.

Use another Samsung Remote

Do you have an older Samsung TV at home? Did you know that you can use the remote from ANY Samsung TV to perform at least a few functions? Even if the remote you are missing is a Smart Remote, an older IR remote from a Samsung TV should be able perform most of the following functions:

  • Turn the TV or projector on and off 
  • Increase and decrease the volume
  • Change the channel up or down
  • Access the settings menu

 

If you have an older TV with a Smart Remote you can pair the remote to a newer TV that uses a Smart Remote, but may have limited functionality.

Use a universal remote

Note
When using a universal remote, some features and functions of your Samsung device may not be available.
Universal remotes are generally used to control multiple devices and will work on most major TVs and home electronics. You can buy a universal remote to control your Samsung TV or projector, though you may already own one if you have a cable or satellite set top box, Roku player, Fire TV, or a game console remote.

The universal remote needs to be programmed to control your Samsung device with a code. Most of the time these codes are preprogrammed, but if the remote is not working, you'll need to obtain additional codes for Samsung from the remote's manufacturer.
