Using the X1 Voice Remote

How to pair your remote for “aim anywhere” control

Control your TV box without having to point your remote at the device, even when it is located inside a cabinet or 
entertainment center.

1. Press and hold the 

Setup

 button (about 3 seconds) until the Status LED changes from red to green.

2. Press the 

xfinity

 button. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the 3-digit code that appears.

3. Once the code is correctly entered, your XFINITY remote is paired with the device.

How to use voice control

Press and hold the 

Microphone

 

 button while speaking a command into the microphone located at the top of the 

remote. Be sure to speak 1 to 8 inches away from the microphone. Release the 

Microphone

 

 button when you have 

finished the command.

What voice commands can I use?

The X1 Voice Remote from XFINITY supports natural language speech recognition, so you 
can search by keyword as well as by phrase. Use voice control to change channels, search for 
shows, get recommendations and more. 

Here are some examples of voice commands:

 

“Watch NBC.”

 

“Find kids movies.”

 

“Launch Sports app.”

 

“Turn on closed captioning.”

 
To change the channel using the Voice Remote from XFINITY, press the 

Microphone

 

 button, 

which activates voice control, and say something similar to the following voice commands:

• 

  “ESPN.”

• 

  “Watch Disney Junior.”

• 

  “Watch channel 810.”

• 

  “Turn on Discovery Channel.”

Voice commands can also be used to: 

  

Search for TV shows and movies

  

Find an actor, director,  
music artist or personality

  

Explore sports by team, event, 
school and more

  

Get recommendations and  

find out what’s popular now

Why doesn’t the Voice Remote recognize  
my voice commands?

If your commands are not recognized, make sure you are speaking clearly and at a natural, 
conversational volume. Be sure to hold the remote 1 to 8 inches from you while speaking a command 
and hold down the 

Microphone

 

 button until you finish speaking your command. If you are still 

having trouble, consider whether there are other sources of noise near you that may be interfering with 
your voice command (for example, loud TV volume).
