How to set up your Roku® Enhanced Remote to control your TV
Background
Some Roku Enhanced Remotes incorporate both wireless and Infra-Red (IR) technologies to
seamlessly control your Roku streaming player and aspects of your TV. Once you set up your
Roku player and Roku Enhanced Remote, you can control volume and power on/off for select
TV brands and models.
Note: The ability to control your TV is only available with the Roku Enhanced Remote
included with the Roku Ultra, Roku
introduced in 2017 or later.
Can I use my Roku Enhanced Remote to control other devices?
Your Roku Enhanced remote is designed to control volume and power for your TV. It cannot
directly control other devices connected to your TV, such as an audio/video receiver (AVR) or
sound bar.
However, your TV may be able to issue volume commands to your AVR or sound bar using a
technology called HDMI CEC. In these cases, your Roku Enhanced Remote can indirectly
control volume for your AVR or sound bar. For this to work, all your devices must be connected
via HDMI, and all devices must support HDMI CEC and have this feature enabled. To learn if
your TV, AVR or sound bar supports this technology refer to the device's documentation. Be
aware that manufacturers may refer to HDMI CEC by a different name.
What should I know before setting up my Roku Enhanced Remote?
During initial setup and activation, you will be able to set up your Roku Enhanced remote to
control volume and power for your TV. You can also set it up later by visiting Settings > Remote
> Set up remote for TV control.
During the remote setup, your Roku player will attempt to automatically detect the brand of
your TV (over the HDMI connection) and program your Roku Enhanced remote. In cases where
the brand cannot be detected automatically, you will be taken through a series of steps to
manually enter the brand and help program your remote (see setup section below).
When information is gathered via HDMI, often only the brand of the device connected directly
to your Roku player can be detected. For this reason, we recommend you always connect your
Roku player directly to your TV during setup. If you plan to
