changing channel or input source, controlling volume,

Center app. You will be directed to a registration
page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete
your TV’s registration and linking process.

name that reminds you of your TV, such as ‘Living

Choose an easy-to-say name. You will say this name
to tell Alexa which TV to control.

Alexa device.

my devices,” or select
Discover Devices
