What are the features of Samsung Smart Touch Control?
The remote control for Samsung Smart TV, among other things, has a hydro-sensor – a motion sensor. Thanks to it you can control the TV by moving the remote control. For the cursor to appear, it is enough to touch the touchpad. Then it will move according to the movement of your hand.
You can switch between menu items using the joystick. Also, some models can display a virtual remote (analog of the virtual keyboard on your computer). With it, you can set up the TV more quickly, activate certain functions and edit the content.
To find out about the signal source, you need to touch the pad. If you hold your finger on it, a list of available channels will appear in front of you. If you press the touchpad while in the Smart Hub section, you will see a window with the parameters of the item you selected. You can switch between its panels by swiping your finger left and right.
When using this device, it is desirable that the distance between it and the TV wasn’t more than 6 meters. Otherwise, the signal may not reach.
To date, such remotes are supplied with the TV series H, K, J, and F, which have the function of Smart TV. Depending on the series, the devices themselves will be different. And not only in appearance but also in the settings.
