Ok. I have foind the solution some may be looking for. The issue with
some of these tvs, like mine, is that the remote it came with functions
on bluetooth. The mute 1 2 8 power command needs to be done using
an infrared remote. The problem with some universal remotes like my
telus box remote is that the number buttons dont even emit a pulse
when pushed until the tv is on. The only way i was able to enter the
service menu was to use 2 different remotes. One for the mute a d
power button press and another for the numbers. It worked like a
charm on my samsung smart tv. There was no one remote that
worked. Sometimes the best indication is the little led on your universal
remote that blinks when you push a button. If thats blinking it should
be putting out an infrared pulse.

I think people could use this I have two Samsung monitors new ones a
32 inch and a 40 inch . I want each controller to control only one
monitor I don't want to change both monitors that are side-by-side is
her way to give an code so that each remote will only control one
particular monitor.

Is there some way to do this without putting a mask on the receiver

transmit link.

Sure be nice that the remotes could be dedicated to a single monitor,

TV

Thank you
