You may not have the correct remote for that TV. There is no 'connecting' involved. Either it immediately operates the TV or it's a similar unit that will only operate minor things like on & off. Sometimes not even the volume! Get the right one by for your TV by using the model number of the TV and get it on eBay or Amazon.
