How To Program Black Xfinity Remote To Tv?
It should be noted that, in most cases, learning the process of programming your Xfinity remote to your Xfinity TV Packages takes no more than a few minutes. By doing a search on the code list and entering that code into the remote control, you can easily program it to power your TV, adjust the volume, and switch the input of the television.
Here is a step-by-step guide to programming your black Xfinity remote to your TV:
Things You'll Need:
- Black Xfinity remote
- TV
The first instruction which will be displayed on the screen is: ‘Please turn on your television’.
It is important to note you have to switch on your TV before you can start programming the remote control. It connects to signals from the TV to ensure that it can work as intended.
Step 2: Once the menu has opened, navigate until you find the code for your specific TV brand.
On the black Xfinity remote, there is a sticker on the back that provides a list of 4-digit codes for different TV brands. Go down to the section that contains your TV’s manufacturer and jot down the code(s) displayed there. Most of the brands familiar in the market such as Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio among others have several codes. However, if your TV brand is not in the above list, do not fret as the universal remote has a feature that allows users to search for codes.
Step 3: Access the remote control setup mode
If you want to program your Xfinity remote to your TV then you have to press the Setup button till the LED light blinks twice at the top of the remote. The Setup button is often the first button on the right side of the remote, and the LED light is usually placed above it.
Step 4: Key in the code
After reaching the setup mode, you will be required to enter the 4-digit manufacturer code located on the back of the remote. Ensure you key it correctly here. The LED will be off if the code is not accepted and will blink twice if it is accepted.
If the code works with your TV, then, move to step 7 of the instructions. However, if you want to continue, you may proceed to the code search option here.
Step 5: Search code
If your TV code was not valid as well then you are not to worry. Even though, the Xfinity remote should be able to search for the right code using the automatic code search.
First, press the key 9-9-1 with a numeric keypad when the remote is in setup mode. If the code search starts, the LED will first flash once and then twice.
Step 6: Test codes as remote searches
While the search is ongoing, point the remote to your TV and turn it on by pressing the power button. Press power each time the LED light on the remote control is blinking. This cycles through codes, testing individual codes to your TV.
At some point, one of the codes will shut the television off and this confirms that there is a match. Once this has happened, press the setup button one more time to save the working code into the remote. The LED will blink twice in confirmation.
Step 7: Test basic functions The final step is to test basic functions to ensure that the smartphone is working properly as expected from other similar smartphones in the market.
As soon as you have either typed a working code or let the remote perform a code search, try out some of the other basic functions. Turn the TV volume up and down with the help of pressing the volume up/down button and make sure the TV volume changes. Ask the press input and tell you that you can see a pop-up on the screen with the input menu.
If any of the buttons do not respond, then repeat the steps starting from step 3 as a way of erasing the code.
Advanced Code Search
If this simple code search does not produce a working code, then you may have to use the advanced code search for your specific TV model.
To start this, type 9-9-2 then power the remote into setting mode. This expanded search uses all device codes in the Xfinity remote system, which has over 10,000 values. The process can take as much as 30 minutes, depending on the size of the package.
The seven steps here remain the same as in the previous type of remote; you will turn on the power button when the LED blinks to search for the codes. You will know which is the correct one when the television turns off. Press the ‘Setup’ button once more to save the chosen settings. Confirm functions work properly.
Programming Other Devices
Once your Xfinity remote is successfully set to control power, volume, and input for your television set, you can then proceed to program codes for other devices such as a DVD player, stereo system, or a streaming box.
This will be similar to how it was done with the TV – just type in the code, which is usually stated on the back of the remote or you can search it on the internet for the code for your device brand, manufacturer, and model. To sync the remote, repeat the method used with the Setup button.
With those basic steps done, you have a programmed black Xfinity remote and you can proceed to use it. Through this guide above and identifying the correct code for both your TV and other devices, you have been able to program the universal remote to cater to all your home entertainment.
