To program an Xfinity remote to control a TV, follow these general steps:
- Turn on your TV.
- On your Xfinity remote, press and hold the Setup button until the LED light at the top turns green. If your remote doesn't have a Setup button, press and hold the Xfinity and Info buttons together until the light turns green.
- Enter the five-digit code for your TV brand. Common codes for popular brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, or TCL can be found on the Xfinity website or remote guide.
- Press the Power button on the remote. If the TV turns off, the programming is successful.
- If the TV does not turn off, repeat the steps using a different code for your TV brand.
- Alternatively, you can use the Auto Code Search method:
- Press and hold Setup until the light turns green.
- Enter 9-1-1.
- Press the Channel Up button repeatedly until the TV turns off.
- Press the Setup button again to lock in the code.
This will program the Xfinity remote to control power, volume, and other TV functions. If needed, you can reset the remote by pressing the A and D buttons simultaneously until the light turns green, then entering 9-8-1. These instructions cover common Xfinity remote models like XR2, XR5, and XR11. Detailed code lists and programming guides are available on Xfinity's support pages or through their remote programming tool. This method enables the remote to control TV power and volume along with cable box functions.
