How to program Samsung remote BN59-05599 to DVD/Cable box/ set-top box?
- Turn off your device
- Press the device key (STB/DVD/CBL) on the remote that corresponds to the device you want to program.
- Then press the SET button
- Using the number keys, enter the 3-digit Samsung TV remote BN59 code concerning the brand
- Press the POWER button pointing the remote to your device
- The device will turn ON when the code set up is correct
Remind:- You should connect your device to the power outlet, but the device should be turned OFF before starting the setup process.
whether the code begins with the number 0, it should still be entered as part of the code input.
If none of the codes are working, you can try the codes 000 to 141. This is very hard, but I guess at least any one of the given codes will work.
Unfortunately, this remote control doesn’t support the auto-code search method for pairing.
