Samsung's UN55TU7000FXZA TV is a Smart TV. It doesn't simply respond to button pushes from the remote. Sometimes a button push will get you, for instance, what's connected to HDMI1; sometimes the very same wiring connection and button push will get you the HDMI2 signal. This, by itself, can be pretty neat.

But if you use that TV in a remote control setup where you want each button push to always do the same thing, well, the TV is just stupid.

A few years ago I had custom information I got from Samsung about this TV. The steps, taken while the TV is booting, turns it into a stupid TV. Making this change can be very helpful.

My client's TV has gone back to its SMART mode and I no longer have the documentation to set it straight.

The guy I talked to at Samsung several years about this stressed that you change from one mode to another by entering signals while the TV is booting.

Anybody out there have this information?

Thanks!

...followed by no progress. See further down the page.

turn the tv off. using the Samsung remote, hit 1 8 2, then power. It should boot to the factory menu. Feel free to change anything in there. you probably wont hurt anything.

THANK YOU. As I remember, it's a regular kind of menu, but getting to it was a bit strange. Your instructions are exactly that.

I'll let you know.

... and this menu has enough choices, but very little information, to get every one of us in a lot of trouble. I'd recommend using this menu system with two TVs, one that you modify and one that you don't. The second one is to help you get the first one back to the default settings!

...and the remote doesn't have the commands asked for in the instructions.


The remote is AA59-00601A. It doesn't have HOME. I'm assuming the rest of the commands for this menu are not engraved plastic buttons, but images on the TV. Whichever thing it is, it doesn't match.

Baffled.

Based on what you're saying, Ernie, it seems like the TV is pretty stupid right now...
