Two Samsung TV's in same room: I have two samsung Tv's in the same room how doyou isolate the remotes to operate independently where one does not work the other?

Here's what I did to resolve this issue... I have two Samsung TV's I'm using as Monitors (side by side dual monitor desktop stand) and wanted to be able to use the built in HDTV tuners of each separately. IR remotes usually have a wide angle lens to disperse the IR signal over distance in a wide arc, so it bounces off things (less directional) and has more paths to the IR receiver. So, what I did was use some black electrical tape and narrowed the lens opening which makes the IR signal more directional. I blocked off about 3/4 of the lens by putting electrical tape on each side of the lens (and top and bottom), thus leaving only approximately 1/4'' of the lens open/uncovered in the middle. Basically, you just want to cover enough lens to make the IR signal more directional. I have two TV's side by side used as monitors and can point to each and control them independently.

Yes, they work independently of the TV. My husband and I can both use them and the TV will still work too.

I own a Samsung LED and when I setup this as an "external speaker" from the TV setup, the functionality of volume at TV gets disabled. So I have to use the new remote.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

I use one remote to control two separate strings under my kitchen cabinets. you can turn on one or both, proximity of the receivers will determine if all go on at the same time or you will have to aim at each controller so only one lights at a time.

You could but only seperatly. Meaning that you could run one unit to multiple televisions but due to selector switch unless you modified the internal switch components you will only be able to view on one tv at a time hope that kind of helps any other questions I will do my best

thank you. The one i currently have, remotes quit working, tried different ones. But think i need to replace old unit, with a newer version.

No, the remotes all have a different code. If you have two sets of lights plugged together you can use one remote.

I bought two sets, one receiver and one remote in one room and another set in the room beside it. They don't interfere with each other. Every set is on it's own frequency. Hope that helps.

I've noticed that other remotes like to my tv or DVD player will turn the mobile on and off as well. I'm sorry that I don't know how to make sure that doesn't happen. I just don't use my TV or DVD player in the bedroom anymore.

It's been a while since I tried hooking up two TV's, but I do believe that using one at a time works, but if the 2nd tv is turned on you will lose sound.

I believe you can with certain remotes, but they have to be programmed. The short answer is I don't think so. I know you can with a Samsung remote. This unit does come with it's own remote. I think for remotes other then Samsung, you might have to send them an email or contact their customer service to be sure if it will work with yours. Good luck! It's a great unit so I hope it works out for you!

See page 47-50 of the operating instructions of the receiver. You can also shut off the sync function in the hdmi menu of most tv's that have hdmi sync capability. You should then be able to control all of the devices separately.

Im not positive, but its an infared remote. If you get 2 of the same tvs and hit the power button and they were next to eachother, they would both turn on.

from what im hearing the only thing that works are the samsung cords, which are 50 bucks. maybe have not tried it. i know you can use it as a remote for the tv

Even though I don't have this kind of a setup, as the previous poster stated, it's one or the other - not both.with this unit, you hook your HDMi Cables from the TVs in the priority you want to view them so that when the other is turned on, it over-rides the HDMI from the first and the signal switches to the new system - but the original TV goes dark. When you turn that system off, the first will return. In addition a remote comes with the unit which will allow you to switch between units also - which is a nice feature. But again its one or the other - not both. If you want both operating at the same time - you need a HDMI splitter.

Remote controls have a way to change their particular code so you can have several remotes working without them interfering with each other. There should be a 4 (or more) position small switch in the remote and the wall unit. these have to be set the same on each remote. READ the directions.
