Samsung forum: Samsung TV + Comcast Cable Remote

Like you, I've spent time trying to figure out how to get universal remote controls to work. Allow me to shed a little light, at least from the manufacturer's perspective, on how those codes come about.

Each television has discrete codes. One code is for power, another for volume up, another for "Menu".. and so forth. As features are added, a new grouping of discrete codes have to be programmed for newer televisions.

Since new groupings can be added, and some codes are reused, don't count on the fact that just because you can power the television on and off that you have the correct code. Test out the volume button, channel toggle and the menu button. If they don't all work, move on to the next number.

I took a quick look at your PDF. Start from the last Samsung model number and work backwards. Here's that list for quick reference:

Samsung 0060, 0030, 0178, 0056, 0702

I have not personally used a Logitech Harmony as the other poster suggested, but I have heard excellent things as far as programmability, updated codes being readily available and ease of use.

If nothing else, you pay for a monthly service from a cable/sat provider. You could always ask for a technician to come out and program their remote.

Keep us posted.

Hello,

I have the same issue with my Comcast remote and Samsung LN52A750 and can't get them to pair. I even tried the the lower solution on the comcast site (http://www.comcast.com/remotes/universal.html) alternating the power and TV buttons, but no dice.

Thank you for the 10060 code. Works with my new 550 series LCD TV. The codes Comcast suggested (0060, 0702, 0030, 0178 and 0056 did not work.)

Recently purchased the Samsung 46LC600. Remote code 10060 worked. Thank you all that were involved.

this code worked on my samsung led too. and one code does it all. Thanks!

lost most control of my fingers & eyes water/spasm 24/7,so pleaqe bear with me, it hurts like hell 2 type.

siorry, i got it the comcast remote code is 0060 4 the LN32/40/46/52A650
i have the 32 & 52 inch. now if i coluld only find the code for the samsung HT-TZ515-XAA. my univ one logitec remote picks em both up.

I tried 10060 and it worked! Yes it is five digits and the Comcast manual says use just 0060.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks!! That worked great

I am a fios tv tech and I like the samsung tv's that i hook up except one problem. when i program our remote with the samsung tv's the volume control clicks one bar per hit. you would expect to just hold down volume button to desire volume level is reached. any idea's why this happens or is this problem know? and if you have a solution please post it.

Thank you for responding to my question. I do install STB's into Verizon customers houses and your correct about it's not just a Samsung's Isolated problem. I do like Samsung tv's. In fact I bought the 52 inch 650 series, I would've perfered to the 750 series because of the ethernet port,but the wife said no do to the budget. Regardless of the remote problem whether its Verizon's problem or Samsung's problem it would be a great benefit to both companies can work together to fix this issue so Samsung and Verizon customers are taken care of. Just so you know for the consumers, do your homework before you go into the retail store to buy. I had a problem getting answers from sale people and their lack of knowlege of tv and their funtions ie. pictures, mp3's, video's and lan. Tv's are not serve just one function they can do a lot of cool things that families can get a lot entertainment value out of them. Good luck!

FiosTVTech,

Could you share that code so that other Verizon FIOS customers might be helped with this issue if it arises in the future?

I had a similar problem programming the comcast remote for my new 650; but I found that the second code listed on the Comcast instructions worked. Both the first code and the second operated the power on/off, but only the second code (10812) let me hold the volume for up/down setting.
