What does pairing mean on a Samsung remote?

Pairing is the term for connecting two smart devices together. If your connection isn’t working, re-pairing is a good way to try and fix the connection. This method is only applicable for Samsung smart remotes. The pairing method will differ slightly depending on which remote you are using.
