[Electronics-Talk] Samsung talking Televisions

[Robin Frost]

Hi Everyone but especially Matthew whose message I'm replying to here.  I 
just wanted to publically say thank you for your help. Your instructions 
about enabling the voice assist features worked like a charm though the 
remote buttons were slightly different on this one.  Once I found mute I was 
off and running.
Now I was just curious and hope you don't mind my asking if you or any 
others have found sound bars that are easily set up or usable by blind 
people? I ask because the one I tried for fun has thus far turned out not to 
be such a winner in the accessibility department sadly. So I'll be anxious 
to hear what other units people have chosen and been happy with using.
Thanks again in advance.
Robin

Hi, Merv.  Yes, the Samsung TVs do talk.  You hold down the Mute key
(bottom-most key on remote, and rectangular in shape) until it talks.  I
have the 40-inch, 4k TV (Model No. UN40MU6300F); (Model Code:
UN40MU6300FXZA).

Was able to sync it up with Verizon FIOS cablebox and my sound system.
You can also change channels by holding down the Talk button and saying,
for example, "channel 631".  Or, you can go into Settings by holding
down the Talk button and saying, "Settings".  Hope the above
helps.--Matthew Chao
