Syncing Your Roku Remote

Here's how to sync different types of Roku remotes:

• Simple Infrared (IR) Remotes: These remotes don't require syncing. They work by pointing directly at the Roku device. Ensure there's a clear line of sight between the remote and the Roku. Replace the batteries if the remote isn't working.

• Voice Remotes (Wi-Fi Direct): These remotes use Wi-Fi Direct to communicate with your Roku and require pairing. Here's how to sync them:

  1. Check Batteries: Ensure your remote has fresh batteries.
  2. Power Cycle: Unplug your Roku device from the power outlet. Wait about 10 seconds, and then plug it back in.
  3. Pairing Mode: As the Roku powers up, open the battery compartment of the remote, and locate the pairing button (usually near the batteries).
  4. Press and Hold: Press and hold the pairing button for about 3-5 seconds until you see a pairing light on the remote or on the Roku device screen. The Roku device will attempt to pair with the remote.
  5. Follow On-Screen Instructions: Follow the on-screen instructions, if any, to complete the pairing process. This usually involves waiting for the Roku to recognize the remote.
  6. Troubleshooting: If the remote doesn't pair, repeat the process. Move closer to the Roku during pairing. Also, try replacing the batteries again.

• Using the Roku Mobile App: If your remote is completely unresponsive, you can use the Roku mobile app (available for iOS and Android) as a temporary remote. Ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device. The app will automatically detect your Roku device.
