How To Connect Xr11 Remote To Xfinity Box?
If you have an Xfinity XR11 voice remote and would like to set it up with your Xfinity cable box there is no need to worry as it is very simple to do. Below are the steps that one can follow to pair the XR11 remote with the Xfinity cable box.
What You Need
- XR11 voice remote
- Xfinity cable box
- Lithium CR2032 battery for the remote control (probably already installed)
Step 1 is to turn on your Xfinity cable box by pressing the power button on the front panel of the device.
Ensure that the Xfinity cable box is on and properly connected to your television before proceeding to sync the remote. You should be able to see the video output of your cable box on your television set.
Step 2 – To ensure that the two devices sync appropriately, you need to set the Remote to pairing mode.
Look at the back of the XR11 remote, and you will find the pairing button. It resembles a circle with an arrow cyclically moving around the circle. The LED status light at the top front of the remote blinks twice when you press and hold this pairing button for 3 seconds. This places the remote into pairing mode for the next 30 seconds.
Step 3 – Pairing – On the Cable Box
While the remote is in pairing mode, on your Xfinity cable box find the Pair button. This is a small, circular shaped depression most commonly found in front of boxes. Press and release the Pair button on both the box and remote and wait for about 3 seconds for them to sync.
Step 4 – Check the remote operation
Keys like Power, Volume, and Channel control on the XR11 should operate depending on the model to regulate your Xfinity box after it is connected to the cable box.
The pairing procedure has not been finished effectively if the buttons do not work properly. If so, you will have to start again in Step 2 of the procedure and return. Before running Pair on the cable box, first hit the pairing button on the remote.
Advanced Remote Options
Having successfully linked your XR11 remote with basic cable box operations, you may wish to add more features to it.
Program-Specific Remote Codes
There are some instances where some channels or buttons may not be fully responsive in the use of the remote and in such a case it may be necessary to enter a 3-digit code corresponding to the model of your Xfinity cable box. You can obtain the codes through the Xfinity website or by contacting the support center.
To enter a code:
1. Press and hold the ‘Setup’ button down until the light at the top front of the remote flashes twice.
2. Press the number buttons to input the three-digit code of your cable box model. The LED will blink twice when entering.
3. Press pound (#) to save the code. If properly set, the LED will blink two times.
Enable Voice Commands
Another advantage of the XR11 is that it has a voice command feature. Follow these steps to set up voice commands.
1. Hold the Voice button down for about 5 seconds until the LED light located at the front of the remote glows blue.
2. Speak into the remote “Voice Remote Setup”. The light will first flash blue and red to indicate that the voice setup has begun.
3. These include a voice guide that guides the visually impaired through the items that are on the screen or menu, switching on/off the cable box and many others.
Some of the simplest commands like ‘Channel up/down, Volume up/down’ or calling out channel numbers should now be possible via voice commands.
And that is how simple it is to sync your XR11 Xfinity remote with a compatible cable box model. Once the basic controls, programming codes, and voice commands have been configured, you can now watch your shows!
