This is a simple guide for people who have the Xfinity Voice XR15 voice remote and wish to link the device with the television to control its different features. Connect your Xfinity Voice remote to your TV – In this blog post, I will provide you with a YouTube tutorial that you can follow.
What You Need
- X1 voice-activated remote control
- Television set with HDMI input/output and CEC function
- YouTube on a phone, tablet, or another device such as a computer that is connected to the same Wifi network as your TV.
Step 1 – HDMI CEC Options On Your TV
The first important action is checking whether your TV is equipped with HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI CEC). This enables devices that are connected through HDMI to interact and even share some of its functions. Look for a setting on your television menu that says something like HDMI CEC or Device Link, and enable it. The names of the menu items depend on the TV model, so you may have to look for them in the options.
If you still have doubts if your TV supports this kind of CEC, then type in the model number of your television on YouTube to find videos regarding these settings. I am sure there are numerous fantastic examples of CEC control locations in menu settings of different smart TV brands and models listed on YouTube.
Step 2 – Connect Devices through HDMI
If CEC is supported on the TV, then connect the TV to your cable box, streaming device, or any other source with the help of an HDMI cable. Ensure that the device to be connected is on and the TV input is selected to that specific HDMI input. This sets up the HDMI CEC link between the two devices, and depending on the device, it confirms an HDMI CEC connection.
Step 3 – The Xfinity Remote
Power on the Xfinity Voice XR15 remote, then press the TV button once to let the remote search for the connected TV through HDMI CEC. The status LED may light up on the remote as the unit searches. Then, attempt to press the volume up/down or mute button on the Xfinity remote to know if the TV requires a new remote. If this worked then the remote should be able to control simple TV functions through the HDMI input.
If this does not work, then the remote may have to be forced into pairing mode and you may need to search for the TV brand code. Watch Xfinity’s YouTube support videos to learn more about how to start the pairing process and which TV model is suitable for it.
For instance, type the keywords such as Xfinity xr15 remote setup LG TV or the one relevant to your brand. Xfinity has produced several videos demonstrating how to sync the XR15 with several other brands of TVs such as Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, and many others. The videos take you through any specific additional remote button presses necessary to pair it.
