Currently tested but not working models:

- KU6300 - Shows in GUI but unable to control.
- H6400 - Shows in GUI but unable to control.
- J5200 - Unable to see state and unable to control
- JU6400 - Shows in GUI but unable to control
- KU6000 - Shows in the GUI but unable to control

If your model is not on the list then give it a test, if everything works correctly then add it to the list on [GitHub](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/tree/current/source/_components/media_player.samsungtv.markdown).
The first letter (U, P, L, H & K) represent the screen type, e.g. LED or Plasma. The second letter represents the region, E is Europe, N is North America and A is Asia & Australia. The two numbers following that represent the screen size.
If you add your model remember to remove these before adding them to the list.

Currently the ability to select a source is not implemented.

There's currently a [known issue](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/2098) with some TV's receiving a *Key press UP* that can interrupt certain applications.
