I got this new (used) tv and looked up the instruction manual online. I was trying to find out how to re-name the input/sources. The guide says to press the ‘tools’ button on the remote. It doesn’t seem to have a tools button. Can anyone help? Which button do they mean?

Hi,did you try the source button, top right, or settings, below red?1

Yes, the source button brings up all the sources but to name them, you need to press the tools button.[Deleted User] said:Hi,did you try the source button, top right, or settings, below red?The settings button brings up all the settings for picture, sound, network etc.0 -

I read it not as a tools button but as a tools option on the screen that you have to select. But that isn't your remote so it probably doesn't apply to your telly.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.1

There is a 'Tools' icon second along from top right of your Step 2 picture. Select its USING your remote control, rather than 'from'.ripplyuk said:This is where I get stuck…

On my TV, the only thing on the top right is ‘universal remote setup’. It’s not the same as that screenshot.Chickereeeee said:

Highlight the input source and just hold down the enter button. You should then see the options, including 'Edit Name'.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Assuming it's the right instructions for the tv, it's likely that the remote has been replaced at some point with not quite the right one.There are many remotes which will work with Samsung, which is handy, but they often have a couple of buttons different.
