Customizing Your Remote Control

Your TV comes equipped with a universal remote control. In addition to controlling the TV, the universal remote control can also operate a VCR, Cable box, DVD, and some Samsung Set-top boxes (even if your VCR, Cable box and DVD are made by manufacturers other than Samsung).
