Hi Frustrated, We appreciate your review of the DU7200 TV. To learn how to use your Samsung remote and understand the settings on your TV, please use your remote to access the remote guide. Go to Home> (left directional button) Settings> Support> Remote Control Guide. We also understand if you’d prefer to use a third-party remote, whether it’s a universal remote, a game controller, or something else! Whether you are replacing a lost remote or using an alternative remote to help reduce clutter, a third-party remote is a great option to use to control your Samsung TV. If you ever have questions or need help, Samsung is here for you! Give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8 AM - 12 AM EST, seven days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website. Thanks for being a part of the Samsung family! ~ Samsung Advisor
