Click Lookup Tool at the top of this page. Do a Device search for TV 0618, then click EFC's in the results. That will get you started. Otherwise grab one of the latest Samsung TV files from the file section here (like
THIS one) and give it a try.

ohh, thats new
found it, thanks, is there an easy way to get it into remote master or is it gonna be all manual?

All manual. But it's probably easier to start with the upgrade I linked since all those codes and more are already in there.

Wouldn't it be easier to just learn the guide button and get the code that way instead of building an upgrade and doing all this searching? I'd only build an upgrade if I wanted to add several functions and re-arrange a lot of buttons. One function isn't worth the trouble IMO.

While one button isn't a big deal, having complete information about your OEM remotes IS A BIG DEAL when your actual remote dies. I wasn't in the habit of documenting all my remotes, and I've had that come back to bite me. When I went down to use my DVD player and found the batteries had ruptured and ruined the board I realized I didn't have complete information and couldn't get to the area I needed to do some of the setup activities. I went to our file area, and there wasn't any information there either.
I learned a lot about how to hunt for codes by using OBC sequences and was eventually able to rebuild my oem remote, but it would have been so much better if I had bothered to build an upgrade when the information was readily available.
