Question

Samsung UN55D6050TF slow response to remote control

Jan 3, 2015 9:52AM PST

Sometimes I press the remote button for Guide or to return to previous channel and it can take a minute or more to respond. Other such problems. Mute works okay. Do I need a software upgrade, a new remote control or what?

At 60 seconds, that's broke.

I'd call it in and ask for repair.

Fixed slow TV response to remote control
Jan 3, 2015 1:27PM PST

Embarrassingly, it just needed new batteries. I don't understand it, really. Once the TV responds by leaving the station it was on (when I click to go back to the previous station), what has the remote control have to do with it? I picture it like throwing a baseball: once it leaves the hand, it's trajectory is set and if there is interference, it must be something other than the hand or throwing arm causing it. Sorry if I'm not making sense.

Good to read.

Sorry if I didn't guess batteries. Usually it's not slow but non-responsive.
