I've had CEC on my TV for 5 years, didn't even know what it did ! All your videos are so informative. Thanks a bunch. I really don't have many subscriptions but you're one of them.
Stumbled upon your video and find that it's very, very good. "The content of your character" is abundant and good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I do not have a NVidia. How does this get programmed to a Amazon Firestick?? It’s not a selectable option when pairing the Samsung remote. Great video, as NVidia is an option but not Amazon Fire TV.
Good info. I'm a long term Harmony user, but I've just recently setup a new system w/ an LG C8, Apple TV 4K and Yamaha receiver. To my surprise the LG remote controls everything perfectly. I have the Apple TV 4K connected directly to the LG C8 and the LG C8 connected to the Yamaha via ARC. In the past I would have connected the Apple TV 4K to the receiver, but this is working out well. Clean an simple.
My Samsung remote, the one just like you use on this video, used to work with my Firestick, it doesn't anymore. I've tried to search for help with this issue to no avail...can you help me ?
Cool video! We bought that very same Klipsh soundbar a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden whenever we turn on the TV, the soundbar and cable box would also turn on. had no idea why, but now i know!
I almost bought an expensive universal remote before coming across the video. My Nvidia Shield Pro remote is now controlling my TV and receiver. Thanks!
Hey Chris, congratulations on your excellent video explaining how to use the TV manufacturer's remote to control other devices connected to the television. Why didn't Samsung give us such easy to understand instructions?? Thanks for taking the time and effort to enlighten us.
I’ve had nothing but trouble trying to get CEC to work in my system so I just went back to my harmony. Did you have any issues along the way when setting this up
I initially had issues with my cable box but after unplugging it and back it everything was fine. I will admit that it works better if you only have one or two devices. Otherwise you might have issues with everything turning on. The good thing though is that they'll power off with the tv. Honestly I dont really use remotes on my house since I have harmony hubs in every room and I use the Elite in my home theater.
Great video and example of how CEC works. One quick tip, which i'm sure you'll appreciate as an Nvidia shield owner, is that instead of going into the menu and putting the shield to sleep to get everything else to turn off, you can press the back button and home button at the same time and it will immediately put the shield to sleep. Discovered this by accident one day lol. Keep the great videos coming!
Thanks for the informative video 😊 I was wondering if you could please tell me how you access your DVR using the Samsung Remote? I can’t figure it out for the life of me 🤦♀️ Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😊
Bruh, keeping it simple & minimalist. I bought Logitech for $100+ and it's collecting dust. My LG TV remote control them all. I've been trying to fix the remote & AT&A box issue, that's all. Give stars dude.
A quick question.... On your setup, while on the Android TV (Nvidia Shield), can you use Google Assistant via the Samsung One Remote? Very curious. Samsung Bixby certainly sucks.
I had to get a newer model from the one I had on account it was missing the " Interface menu button" which allow you to fine tune pictute and audio quality/settings
hey man. Thanks for the video. How do you get the shield as your shortcut on your tv. I have Q60R and have to go to AVR as source then select shield. Same for PS4. Please help
Hello, I have the Samsung remote & I have Fios. I can get to the guide & do the channels. Do you know how to get to the dvr from the Samsung remote? I can do almost everything except figure out how to get to drv menu from the Samsung remote. So far I have to switch back to the cable remote to access the DVR.
My soundbar doesn't have HDMI, only digital, analog, bluetooth, and a USB port for probably playing mp3s off a flash drive. I might just bite the bullet and get a universal remote, but does anyone know if you can make it auto switch when using certain buttons? For example my use case would be so that whenever I adjust volume, send signal to the soundbar, not the tv?
Arc on Samsung does not play well with my Onkyo receiver's arc , We even had someone come to the house to set it up again because we thought we were doing something wrong and he could not get it working correctly either , We ended up going with a Logitech Harmony Companion remote to control our TV , BR, Cable box , Roku , Sonos , Onkyo receiver ect , And we use Google assistant to control it.
Same here. The volume on the Samsung remote works perfectly with the Onkyo's volume, but the Onkyo's remote doesn't do anything on the Samsung TV. Also, the Onkyo remote app has a lovely interface for the TV, but it is completely non-functional. 😒
Hey bro I have Bose v30 home theater.. the remote broke but I have my 4K tv and 4K fire stick connected to it.. I tried everything to connect it a universal remote even try finding it through the fire stick options but nothing, because I don’t have the Bose remote anymore I don’t know what to do anymore lol. Any tips ? Thanks
how universal is the remote ? would it work on a Sony Bravia TV? I'm thinking about getting a sony TV but I prefer this remote from samsung(my old tv was a qled 60). So I was wondering if I could use this remote for my new tv (Sony XH90) instead of the one that comes with it
Hi there, I have 2 Samsung TVs, one is 60" and one is 55". they have the same remote control including Samsung BN5901274A. The issue is both TVs are side by side one connecting to PS4 for gaming and the 55" connected to Nvidia Shields when I turn the sound on the 55" it turns the 60" up, is there a way of stopping this? Also, how do you configure the Samsung BN5901274A to increase or decrease the sound? When I press the Vol button is just mute the TV. thank you.
My Samsung TV sound is not clear it’s like vibrating when people talk. Lost the remote for the surround sound so I am using a Samsung universal remote N it was working till now. What to do ?..
good review actually, neat features actually, thx actually, i appreciate your efforts actually, and how to get things to actually set up the remote, and actually the actual remote actually works great actually. Thanks, actually
Chris, I have a question about voice control. What to do when you speak a word by individual letters and want to speak two words. We need to keep a space between two words-say Good Morning -you say g o o d now I want to keep a space and then to say m o r n i n g . When I say keep space, it write "keep space".
Fantastic video! This is a great idea to apply to my technologically challenged parents who still have a cable box but also like the idea of streaming services.
when I use the voice command to change stations it only understands 3numbers and on my uverse I need to use 4 in order to get a full screen or I guess Hi-def. Got an answer for that?
I plugged my old Polk sound bar into my new Q6 and it recognized it. Pointed it to Optical Output. Couldn't believe it, no HDMI cable to it, it doesn't have it. CEC was set to AUTO from the factory. Great tech these days.
Whats so fucked up is there is mo mouse on my LG remote i had mouse control build in the remote .. is there any app instead of samsung remote app i can use to type from my phone for example
M'y Samsung smart TV UA32F4500 menu service option greyed out : "Type", "Local Set", "SW Model" and "BOM Model" are all greyed out. How to fix this problem ?
Awesome, Awesome video! That was a GREAT lesson! I have a question. I have all Samsung components in my bedroom with the same remote you have, and my biggest complaints are 1st, the remote is not backlit and 2nd, there are not enough buttons on it to be efficient. I have to go through about 17 screens just to set the sleep timer. Do you happen to know if they make a universal remote that does all the stuff you are able to do in this video, plus has individual buttons for everything - numbers, sleep, microphone Netflix, etc.? Have you done a video on that? Also, my biggest complaint with the Logitech remotes is the remotes themselves turn on and off. This means if you have 2 remotes - a Samsung TV remote and a Harmony remote - and you turn the system on with the Samsung remote, the Harmony remote will not work until you hit the power button on the Harmony remote. This can cause problems with the other remote or the system itself. So I want a remote that doesn't turn off - like the comcast cable box ones. Do you know if anything like that exists? Do you have a recommendation? Thanks for all of your help!
@@ChrisMajestic Thanks Chris, it is very pricey, proprietary, and so a bit of a trap. To change anything on it you pay 100 bucks an hour to have someone remotely reprogram it. too late now, I'm caught. Thank you for talking to me!
I have tried all this you show and successfully made so my yamaha YSP-4300 is connected and the volume works. But i can not for my life get the switch on/off of the soundbar with the remote? only my tv switches of(Samsung Q8FN). i relly need help with this. making me crazy. Cant find the anynet+ settings on my ty by the way
hey Chris my name is Al I am doing a budget home theater now I'm looking for a universal remote or and accessory that I can control everything with my cell phone could you please help me out with this thanks a lot Chris and by the way love your videos and they are all very informative.
I really do like this feature a lot. But the one issue that I’ve ran into with this is that if I’m using a device that won’t turn on the TV automatically when the TV comes on, I’ll turn on the TV with the remote and it will automatically turn on my PS4 pro with it. So if I’m trying to use my Xbox One X, I then have to manually switch the input to the Xbox and then after the PS4 pro finally boots up it automatically switches input BACK to PS4 now that it’s booted up when I’m already on Xbox and then I have to switch back again and then also manually turn off the PS4. Lol. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but that’s how it’s working right now.
I had that small remote before and what a POS it was! I had to replace it 3 times till I got a bigger Samsung over model remote which worked a lot better

Is watching that tv from that high comfortable? I notice your standing and still have to tilt your head up to see.
Good question. I honestly don't even watch my living room tv lol. But no one has ever complained.
Depends on how far away from screen your seating is........if it’s too close, then no. You’ll be craning your neck to look up.
I'd like to know if there's a way I could use a Bose soundbar 700 without the app.

What does holding the power button do. It seems to do something different then just pressing it
Is that the tu7000 or tu8000
How did you pair the Samsung remote to the cable box?
Excited to see you closing in on 100k subscribers. Fantastic channel!
Doesn't your HDMI cables have to be Arc ready as well???
I’ve had nothing but trouble trying to get CEC to work in my system so I just went back to my harmony. Did you have any issues along the way when setting this up
I own a Logitech Harmony One, and nothing can compare to it!

Honestly I dont really use remotes on my house since I have harmony hubs in every room and I use the Elite in my home theater.
Majestechs Yes, I have had similar issues with CEC. 
When using the harmony hub,I had to disable that feature
