We’ve all been there. You settle into your favorite spot on the couch, snacks ready, only to realize the TV remote is missing. Or perhaps you have a remote for the TV, another for the cable box, and a third for the DVD player, and you are tired of the "remote juggle."
Think of your electronic devices (TV, Soundbar, DVD player) as different languages. A Samsung TV speaks "Samsung," while an LG TV speaks "LG." A universal remote acts as a translator, but it needs a dictionary to know which language to translate.
The exact code set depends on your universal remote brand (GE, RCA, One For All, Philips, etc.). Always try the first code listed for your device brand first.
