The TV codes are very limited. Get a decent remote, the 8910:

http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-one4all/list.cgi
Only $20 at amazon.com
Then if you really want to have some fun, get into JP1 technology. You
will be able to build your own custom code sets.

Get the classic Indian Test Pattern and burn the JPG on a DVD. Find
the "format" that makes the pattern circular. My son found one that
fills the entire screen.
You should be consulting Samsung customer support.
