I recently purchased two Samsung 70" DU6900D TVs and have put them side-by-side. A major issue I am dealing with is that I need individual control of the TVs with a specific remote (e.g. remote #1 controls TV #1 and remote #2 controls TV #2). Currently, the smart remote that came with both TVs will control both at the same time. I would assume there is some sort of way to do this, as I've seen TVs at sports bars, venues, etc. be operated individually with different remotes while in the same proximity to each other.
I have tried "pairing" my remotes to the TVs (pressing both back and play/pause simultaneously for 3 seconds), but nothing comes from that - not even a device paired notification like I see on all the instructions. It's as if the pairing function doesn't even exist for the TV.
I know there is the Smart Things app, but to be quite honest, my wife and I hate it because there is no touch feedback, so you constantly have to be looking down at your phone to know what button you are going to press and then the UI on the TV is also just so much - so the two don't mix well.
The problem with the DU6900 TVs is that their remotes are similar to Smart Remotes, but work solely with infrared signals. Therefore, the remote controls two TVs at the same time. You can find more information about your TV here .
To solve this problem, you have two simple options:
Your TVs are compatible with Smart Remotes, purchase Bluetooth remotes. This will allow you to synchronize each remote with a specific TV.
Glue a piece of insulating tape next to the infrared signal receiver on your TV so that your TVs can only receive the signal reflected from the wall, for example, so that the left TV only receives the signal from the left wall and the right TV only receives the signal from the right wall.
