We’ve created a step-by-step tutorial, including everything you need to know. Let’s jump right into it!

Step #1 Turn ON The TV

Turn on your TV, press the Home button on your remote to go to the Options. If the Samsung remote is not working, and you don’t have a way to get to the options, feel free to use the panel home button.

It is located right in the bottom center of the screen.

Step #2 Initial Setup

Grab your Comcast remote and ensure it is functional. You can take out and in the batteries of your Comcast remote since if the remote isn’t active, your Samsung TV will be unable to detect it, causing the process to fail.

1. Grab your Comcast remote and point it towards your Samsung TV.
2. Locate the setup button on the hardware of the remote.
3. Put pressure on the setup button and wait.
4. Once the LED on the front of the remote changes from red to green, release the pressure you’ve put from the Setup button.

Step #3 Insert Comcast Remote Code

Once the LED located on the front of the remote turns from red to green, you should input a specific code for activation. By default, with Comcast remotes, that code is 9-9-1.

Note: You can find the number buttons on the lower side of the Comcast remote.

Press these buttons consecutively with a maximum of one second in between each click. Once you’ve entered that combination, you can proceed with the next step.

Step #4 Pair Both Devices

Now that you’ve entered the activation code, keep pressing the Channel Up (CH) button on your Comcast remote. This way your remote will communicate with the TV, automatically pairing both of the devices.

Step #5 Confirm

Once the TV has turned off after pressing the Channel up button, press the Setup button once again to confirm and lock in the code.
