Well, none of those remotes have an f-set button. I found the following page, which does explain the programming with the included remote: http://www.amphi.com/~technology/techtalks/april01.htm Thing is, I was really hoping these could be used with standard universal remotes. The universal does seem to work all other functions fine, just not programming. I guess I will have to get one actual Samsung remote, switch the set into cable mode, let it auto program...Then unplug it for a day or two and see if it holds the settings. I just found this remote on eBay and it seems to have an f-set button, so I believe it may be the right one.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&vi ewitem=&item=9734912689&rd=1&rd=1 Here are the programming instructions I found: Programming the CTV for the first time - model TXB2735 1.Turn on the CTV by pressing the Power button. (if using a remote control that has a TV, VCR or CABLE button, press the TV button first - if necessary). 2.Press the F-Set (function) button of the remote, once. The on-screen display will give a choice of a sub-menu for TV/CATV (highlighted in red), MTS Mode, Sleep or Surround (in green). 3.To the right of the TV/CATV listing is the Mode selected - AIR, STD or HRC. 4.Push either of the Mode UP/Down buttons repeatedly until STD is chosen. 5.To choose another function, push the F-Set button repeatedly until that function is highlighted. Adding or Erasing channels - model TXB2735 1.Repeat steps 1-4 above. 2.Press the AUTO-PRG button to begin the auto programming sequence. The CTV will begin memorizing all the available channels according to the antenna system type. 3.Press the numbered keys to choose the channel you want to add (or delete). 4.As soon as the channel number is displayed, press the ADD (or DELETE) button. ADD (or DELETE) will be displayed under the channel number. 5.Wait until the number display goes off screen before choosing another channel to add or delete. NOTE: You can expedite this waiting process by pushing the Volume down button. If the add or delete functions doesn't make a change in the channel memory, perform the AUTO PROGRAMMING function again. -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marty Galyean Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:26 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TA-A] Re: Need assistance w/ Samsung TV's Brett Hays wrote: > I recently purchased 10 Samsung 27" txb2735 televisions ... > ...However, I do not have any original remotes. ... > I googled "replacement remote samsung txb2735" and lo and behold! http://www.remotes.com/store/samsung/txb2735.html http://www.anderic.com/remotes/rr3f1400038120.html http://www.newtvremotes.com/Mfrs/Samsung/SamsungTV/3F1400039010.htm Marty ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Remove: http://www.tech-assist.org/remove.htm Set Vacation mailto:ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=set%20techassist%20vacation Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
