FAQ

Is there a pairing button on all Roku remotes?

No, there isn’t a pairing button on every Roku remote. On the other hand, the Roku IR remote controls your Roku device via an infrared light beam.

It may be used with a variety of devices as long as they include an infrared sensor. There is also no pairing button present on the old Roku IR remote.

How could I get my Roku to identify my remote control?

Click and press the Pairing button on the remote and wait for the pairing light in the battery compartment until it flashes. Before retesting, wait about 1 minute for anything to synchronize. Re-pair the device using your phone’s app. Occasionally, the Upgraded Roku remote will drop its pairing and stop working.

Is it possible to sync a separate Roku remote?

To operate the same Roku TV or player, you can use a new remote or a second remote. Scroll to the bottom to Preferences on the left side of the screen in the Main Menu’s section navigation. This way, you can sync separate Roku remotes on your Roku device.

What should I do if I don't have a pairing button on my Roku remote?

If your Roku remote does not have a pairing button, you can use the Bluetooth pairing mode. Simply remove the batteries, re-insert them, and hold down the back button and home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. The remote will then enter Bluetooth pairing mode.

How do I know if my remote is connected to my Roku device?

Once your remote is successfully paired, the blue light on the remote will blink rapidly when you press a button.

What should I do if my remote is not connecting to my Roku device?

If you are having trouble connecting your remote, try power cycling your Roku device. Unplug it from the power source, wait for a few seconds, and then plug it back in. This may resolve any connectivity issues.

Can I pair multiple remotes with my Roku device?

Yes, you can pair multiple remotes with your Roku device. Simply follow the same pairing process for each additional remote you want to connect.
