Just moved and lost my samsung remote. I have direct tv but I'd like to watch movies. Will a universal remote fix my problem? Also, where is the model number on a samsung LCD tv.

If you do not have a "next" button on set you will have to pound salt. Often the remotes have controls and/or buttons that are not duplicated on the set and the loss of a remote can be tragic.

Only cure is another remote - generics or universal remotes will not help because they only have limited buttons. Nada for menu, settings, etc.

get a logitect universal remote and set it up to the dvd player.
I know what you are asking and I don't think you will be able to move or select sub menus on movies without a remote.
or buy another remote

Check it with an another setup code.

You have to program the remote control to synchronize with TV. If you wish to get moredetails; codes, three digits, four digits or five digit ones, check this link. Pull up older posts there. Setup code list and setup instructions to some popular model remote controls are given. Select the 'Timeslide' option from the drop-down list by the 'Sidebar' at the display window. It will make search easy.

SEE IF THE REMOTE HAS AN INPUT BUTTON OR TV/VIDEO

since most of the disney TVs are manufactured by memorex company ..... from your universal remote control's manual check the codes for memorex brand & try it .... if you don't have manual for your universal remote then from this link http://www.remotecentral.com/features/remotes.htm identify your universal remote & in that check codes for memorex brand & try it .... while searching answer for your question i have found that many people have same problem that is code for universal remote ..... but they never got right answer ......... & also neither same original remote control nor equivalent remote control is available (spare ) ...... so in case if you don't get right code then consider selling of this TV & buying new tv ...........

Unfortunately, Samsung tech support was accurate. Most universal remotes (and the portion of the remote programming to control other devices is the same program) only have codes for devices released 6 months or more before the remote was programmed.

However, any universal remote that is newer than the TV (by that 6 month programming period) should control both devices. Low end universal remotes may not support all of the features of either the TV or the Blu-ray player. The remotes that can be programmed via a USB connection to a computer are the fastest to set up. (Alternatives: You can use both remotes when watching a movie or get a Viera link Blu-ray player that is compatible with the TV. For the second option, you need a device with the HDAVI Control (not above Control 5) connected via a good HDMI cable)

I wish that I had better news.

Another expert site answered my question. Since there was no INPUT button on the TV, I need to buy an original remote.

I got mine off of game mode by using a universal remote. I had to type in a channel, (03) and it got it out of game mode, but I now have the problem of not being able to get it back into game mode so that I can use my DVD player. Good luck

lost remote, can not switch imput
