Below is the verified list of working codes and the step-by-step instructions to program your Vivitar remote to a Samsung TV.

Vivitar remotes generally use 3-digit, 4-digit, or sometimes 5-digit codes depending on the specific model (e.g., 8-in-1, Jumbo, or standard). Start with the 4-digit codes, as these are the most common for newer Vivitar models.

How to Program a Vivitar Universal Remote to a Samsung TV

There are two primary ways to set up your remote: Direct Code Entry (fastest) and Auto Code Search (if you don’t have a code).

Method 1 – Direct Code Entry (Recommended)

This is the most reliable method. Ensure your Samsung TV is powered ON before starting.

  1. Press and hold the SETUP (or CODE SEARCH) button on your remote until the red indicator light turns on and stays solid.
  2. Press and release the TV button. The red light should blink once and remain on.
  3. Enter the first code from the list above using the number pad.
  4. If the code is valid, the red light will turn off.
  5. Test the remote by pressing the POWER button. If the TV turns off, you are done. If not, repeat the steps with the next code.

Method 2 – Auto Code Search (No Code Needed)

Use this method if none of the specific codes above work.

  1. Turn on your Samsung TV manually.
  2. Press and hold the SETUP (or CODE SEARCH) button until the indicator light stays on.
  3. Press the TV button. The light will blink once and stay on.
  4. Point the remote at the TV and press the POWER button repeatedly (wait about 1 second between presses).
  5. Stop immediately when the TV turns off.
  6. Press the ENTER (or OK) button to save the code. The light should turn off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the red light on my remote blinking rapidly?

This usually indicates an error. It means the code you entered was invalid or the programming mode timed out. Wait for the blinking to stop, then start the process again from step 1.

I programmed the remote, but the Volume buttons don’t work. Why?

Partial functionality occurs when a code matches your TV “closely” but not perfectly. Try reprogramming the remote using the next code in the list to find a better match that controls all functions.

Where is the “Setup” button on my Vivitar remote?

On some Vivitar models, this button is labeled “CODE SEARCH” or simply “SET.” If your remote has none of these, look for a recessed button that requires a paperclip to press, often found on older models.

Next Step: If you have successfully programmed the TV but still need to control a soundbar or DVD player, repeat Method 1 using the AUX or DVD mode buttons respectively.
