A:AnswerAlthough the included remote is considered a universal remote it works best for your cable/ sat. box and DVD with the included (IR) Infrared Blaster. ( you can hide these two components in a closed cabinet) There is a Bluetooth link for Samsung sound bars with an optical output. In my living room I use a Logitech Harmony universal remote instead though as it controls my Sonos soundbar and audio system and has every function of every associated remote that can be easily programmed for someone with mid level computer skills. Requires a desktop or laptop to program though. Hope this helps.
