Ninja Remote 2: Weaponized TV Jammer Prank Toy. Television Gadget Toy for Jamming TV for boys of all ages

I was really looking forward to playing pranks on someone who likes to be a remote hog and remote power junkie. Turns out it works fine to jam the signal on a Toshiba when you hold the signal jamming button down, but on a Samsung you have to actually be closer to the TV then the other person using their TV remote. And if there is anything in the way, forget it, it won't work.I tried over and over to get the signal bombing function to work and I could not get it to work on any TV. On the other hand, it works great as a replacement TV remote if all you need to do is turn on the TV, Change channels or change the volume. That's why I gave it a 3. I actually like it and wish it would work better cause than I could have loads of fun with it. But I guess I have to make do and hope I get in the right spot to get it to work

This cool little remote is amazing! It lets me control any T.V. that I have come across. There only a few negatives; the instructions are vague and the overly-large and bright red l.e.d. makes it difficult to be “discrete” when using, (very un-ninja like). However, overall the Ninja 2 remote works as promised but would be easier with better instructions, so here you go!INSTRUCTIONS - Ninja Remote 2: WeaponizedPROTECTIVE SEALThere is a thin transparent protective plastic seal covering the keypads on both sides of the remote. Use a knife and working from an edge, pull off the seal.BATTERIESInsert 3 new (non-rechargeable) AAA batteries. The middle battery's positive (+) terminal (end with stub on it) points toward the remote keys. Press LASER button (located on side), red LED should be lit. If not, batteries are inserted incorrectly or are dead.PROGRAMMINGThere are two ways to program the remote:Using POWER button - Turn TV ON (TV can be off, but not as easy). Point remote at TV. Press and hold POWER (the red button) until the TV turns off. Quickly release POWER.Using MUTE button The MUTE button is located on the side of the remote. Turn TV ON. Point remote at TV. Press and hold MUTE until the TV mutes. Quickly release MUTE. Press VOL to restore volume.If you released the button (POWER or MUTE depending on above) then the TV should be ready to use. The remote will automatically save this programmed TV to one of the TV buttons. It will save the first programmed TV to the first TV button. If you program again (this or another TV) the TV will be saved to the second button. The third time you program it will be saved to the third button. It will then repeat this pattern for subsequent programs. The last three programmed TV's are saved. To use one of the last three previously programmed TV's, simply press a TV button. And now the remote will work for that TV. If it doesn't work, then try the other TV buttons one at a time.These are the three TV buttons:Tips:- The remote will run through codes to try to POWER or MUTE the TV. You must release the POWER or MUTE button quickly after the selected operation above happens. For certain TV models, such as Samsung they have similar but not exactly the same codes for each model. Therefore, the TV will POWER or MUTE but the other keys won't work. The best way to program a Samsung is to turn the TV on and use the POWER button programming method. You can also wait a little longer and let it toggle (POWER or MUTE) an additional time or more then release quickly. TV BOMBERThe BOMB button is the center red button with an image of a round bomb. After programming a TV, point remote at TV and press the BOMB button once. The TV will now change channels, volume, etc slowly over time. Duration of bombing is a random time between 8-15 minutes. It will look like a human is doing it. Press any number key on the remote to stop bombing.Tips:- Hide the remote, make sure to have a line of sight to the TV. Press the BOMB button and leave the room. Shenanigans will ensue. TV JAMMERThe JAM button is the orange button with the three lightning bolts. The JAM will prevent other remotes from controlling the TV. The TV does not need to be programmed to jam. Point at TV and press the JAM button once. Now, remotes trying to control TV will will not work! Jamming will automatically stop after 15 minutes. Press any number on the remote to stop jamming. Jamming is power intensive. Jamming must occur at less than the maximum range distance.Tips:- When the bar keep decides his selections are better than yours, activate the Ninja Remote 2: Weaponized. CAMERA (DSLR)The DSLR (Digital SLR) button is the yellow shutter button. After being programmed this button acts as a remote shutter for your digital camera. Your camera must be able to accept a remote. You must enable remote use within the camera. Typically, to enable a remote it's function is located in the same area as the camera timer. See your cameras operating manual.Enable the remote setting on your digital camera. Program the remote by pointing the remote at the camera and press the POWER button (solid red button) and the DSLR button at the same time and release. The red light will stay on to indicate you have entered programming mode. Press the DSLR button to try the current camera code. If the shutter on the camera takes a picture, then you can press any number key to stop programming. Now, the DSLR button will be a remote shutter. If the camera does not take a picture, keep pressing the DSLR button one at a time while pointing at the camera. Press a number key when the camera takes a picture to save this camera and end programming.Here are the codes in order. The default code is Nikon.1) Nikon2) Canon (RC1-RC3)3) Canon (RC4-RC5)4) Sony5) Olympus6) Pentax / Samsung7) Minolta/Konica8) Kyocera/Yashica9) Fujifilm10) RicohGENERAL TIPS:- You must have a line of sight from remote to TV. Remote will not work through walls.- The laboratory range is between 200-400 feet. Sunlight, and lights can reduce range of remote.- The red light is a light and activity indicator, and is a brightness of which Rudolph would be envious. Remote codes are sent via infrared and are not visible to the human eye.- Infrared light may show up in video. To test if your remote works you could take a video with your phone and note if light is emitting.Home | Instructions© 2006-2017 NinjaRemote.com.

Disclaimer: I paid full price for this Ninja Remote 2 and have not received any incentive for this review. My opinions are completely my own.I got this for my son at his request so he could prank someone on April Fool’s Day. Unfortunately, he was disappointed with how it works and it was challenging for him to program without my help. And even then I had to search the Internet for help above and beyond the documentation provided.Functionally it does work to turn on and off a TV, but if you have a cable box and want to use it to change channels, it won’t work. We also couldn’t get it to work for any of the other functions with our Vizio or Samsung smart TVs.It really wasn’t worth the cost since the novelty wore off within minutes and it is now in a box in my son’s room somewhere.

The remote works as described. Mine was not used or broken in any way when it arrived. It uses 3 AAA batteries, and they last a very long time. It's been sitting in my drawer for more than 8 months and found the batteries still going strong today. I'm knocking the review down a star for two reasons.The remote should be black plastic. This way it could be hidden more easily, or it would look more like a fob for your car. Make the buttons black with white font, and keep the power button red (this is the programming button).According to the website the red led is for letting you know the remote is performing an activity. Why they decided to use such a bright led and stick it on the front is beyond me. The red led does not send signals to the tv or device at all. The infrared led is what does that, so you can cover the red led without issue. I actually covered mine with a piece of electrical tape and it blocked about 90% of the light. I tried to open the case and disable the led, but the top half of the remote felt like it was glued shut so I didn't want to break it. Next version should have a much smaller led and put it on the side of the remote by the buttons.Overall it's a fun little toy once you take care of the red led.

Looks OK at first glance, but no instruction manual for the side with the numbered buttons. Mine seem to do nothing whatsoever. I have tried this on an LG LCD unit, and "red" button did what I thought it would do, i.e. turn off the TV. Volume buttons work, but no so the Channel buttons. The red lcd seems to do nothing, except provide a "tell tale", that you have something electronic in your hand, and if you are in a public place interfering with a TV there, you just may get noticed for it. A bit of dark tape over it does the trick. (Why have it at all?)It just arrived this morning and I have yet to try it elsewhere.
