I have a Samsung TXN2730F (it is a 27" grey flat glass CRT) that is about 4 years old. I recently tried to get a remote for it after not having one for about 2 years. I purchased two universal remotes (a phillips and one made by direct tv) and meticulously tried every programming code for each to no avail.


I then bucked up and tried to get the original manufacturer's remote for it and recieved a very similar one but not the EXACT same one, this one is bulkier and has more options. I didnt do anythign to program it because it said that it would automatically work upon arrival.


I just got back from trying another universal made by radioshack that has not worked. Luckily so far I have been able to return all but one (got it on amazon...) I guess I need to send the quasi-manufacturers one back


What is going on? Do I need to program teh quasi-manufactures remote or EXACT manufacturer's remote when I get them? Suggestions?

Try the Direct View forum... we're projectionists hereabouts...

CHances are the IR receiver in the TV is bad and the set needs to go in for service.

All I can say about samsung is they can be a pain to program.


Well their DVD players are almost impossible to program into Theater Master remotes. I have really had no problems with getting tv codes to work relitively easy.


I think the direct TV remote has samsung codes that work......But yea if the IR receiver in the set is bad nothings gonna work...you already knew that.
