Of course, you have a Dish Network satellite TV system and a Samsung TV. Those who wish to use just one remote to operate both will be glad to note that this is possible. As a result, programming your Dish Network remote to function with your Samsung TV is a breeze. With a few simple instructions, you can program your Dish remote so that you can power on and off a TV or change the volume. Here are the steps to follow if you want to program Dish network remote to Samsung TV.
Things You'll Need:
- Dish Network remote
- Samsung TV
- Television remote control (specifically the one used in a Samsung television).
Before any process, there is the standard procedure of switching on your Samsung TV as you will learn from the following subtopics.
To begin with, it is required to switch your Samsung TV on. You will need the TV to be on to initiate programming mode for the set in the next steps explained here.
Turn on the TV and search for the ‘TV Input’ button on the dish remote.
Look at the circle-shaped buttons on the top part of your Dish Network remote. Depending on the make and model of the car, you should be able to see colored buttons such as TV, AUX, and DVD among others. Find the button that says “TV”, and this is the one you will need to use to program.
Selecting the programming mode of the Samsung television involves the following steps:
Now it is time to switch on your Samsung TV to programming mode if you wish to program your cable with ease. Using the Samsung TV original remote:
- Press the "Menu" button
- On the next menu, go to “System” and then click on “General”.
- Go to the next steps, using the arrow keys, get to “External Device Manager” and press “ENTER” twice more to get to “Universal Remote Setup”.
Now your Samsung TV setup screen will show “Ready for device code”. It means it is in the programming mode intended for synchronizing with the Dish remote.
In the space provided, type the code for Samsung TV.
Now return to the Dish Network remote that you want to program. While aiming it at your Samsung TV:
- This is done by using the remote control and pressing down the ‘TV Input’ button.
- Type in 1 1 3 with numerals
- Press the “TV Input” button
The TV Input button will blink three times as confirmation that the code has been entered correctly.
Test Volume and Power Controls In this step, the tester ensures that the volume and power controls of the equipment are functioning properly.
If programming was successful, you should now be able to use your Dish Network remote to power on/off your Samsung TV, change the input, and control the volume.
Give it a shot by pressing the Power button on the scope of your Samsung TV, it will turn on/off the TV set.
Turn the Dish remote to the TV devices category and then use the Volume + and Volume – buttons on the remote to check whether it can control the sound level on the television.
If the Dish remote is successful in operating the Samsung TV and can switch it on and off, and control the volume, programming is successful.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the above steps don't work, there are a few things to try:
- Repeat the steps, that is typing the code as you type it slowly. In the TV Input button area, it should flash three times.
- Use another device code, for example, device code 111, 113, 143. Sometimes an alternate code works better for this kind of Samsung TV for one reason or the other.
- If the batteries in the Dish remote are dead, replace them if needed because dead batteries may cause the remote to become unsynchronized.
- We should also ensure that the Dish remote is placed near the TV in case of programming or testing buttons.
If you find yourself having problems with the process of pairing the Dish Network remote to your Samsung TV, even after trying all the methods listed above, then you may need to seek further assistance from your TV or Dish provider. Some of the newer TV models also support remote sync if you use a mobile app or the input settings.
However, once they are set up properly, it is very easy to control almost all of the television’s facilities with your Dish Network satellite remote which includes controlling power and volume among others! Installing the programs only takes a few minutes to have a better-integrated home system of entertainment.
