How to Pair Remotes to two TVs

[Martin C]

I have two Q60T QLED TV's side by side.

At the moment, the two remotes operate both TV's simultaneously. i.e. if I use Remote 1 or 2 to turn on, both TVs turn on.

How do I go about having Remote 1 control TV 1, and Remote 2, control TV 2?

I actually have a full and smart remote for each TV, i.e. 4 remotes. The Smart Remote seems to suggest that I can repair the remote by pointing it at the TV and pressing the Return and Play button, but when I do that it doesn't make the remote specific to a TV. 

Any guidance would be appreciated.

The smart remote is bluetooth so that is why it controls both tv's. If you have a non smart remote, then that is your only option to stop both tv's turning on together.

Thanks for the clarification, at the moment both the non-smart remote are also activating both TVs, so how do I separate the two non-bluetooth remotes so they only operate one TV?

Since they are so close to each other, there is unfortunately no way to individually control them apart from using the smartthings app to seperately control them.

Hi there! I too had this issue just this week, and thought I'd mention that the remote can 100% be programmed to a single TV, IE remote 1, TV 1; remote 2, TV 2! I have 3 Q60a (two 42" about a 50") and all three have their own solar smart remote, and each operate just one TV. It's not the easiest thing to figure out, but if you're atill having this issue I may be of some assistance.

Hi. Same problem, Samsung TV one end of the lounge space and a Samsung projector the other end. Turn on projector, so the tv turn on also and vice versa…. (Although apple remote to applets connected to projector only activates the projector)…

please detail how to remedy if you have found the solution with Samsung remote only activating the device that it was purchased with. Otherwise: Samsung please fix, it is not unimaginable that one has a Samsung to and projector in the same space ✌️😉.

Hi Kyra, that’s real nice to hear. Now instead of submitting another uninformative reply, could YOU PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU DID THAT which would answer the original posts question that was posed. Thanks
