Remote Control Issues

If your remote control isn't working, you have three options, all of which are extremely simple.

Re-pair the remote control.

If your remote control isn't responding, the simplest fix is to try pairing it again. (Well, the second simplest, anyway; the simplest would be replacing the batteries.)

1. Take the back cover off the remote control.

2. Press the small button beneath the battery.

Hold it for 3 seconds while positioning the remote next to the Roku.

The two should now be connected again.

Use the mobile app instead.

If your remote stubbornly refuses to play nice or has disappeared into the Couch Cushions of No Return, you can always use the mobile app instead.

1. Download the Roku app.

Acquire the app for Windows, Android, or iOS, and link it with your Roku. (Both devices will need to be on the same wireless network.)

2. Tap "Remote."

The mobile app remote can do everything a remote control can do, and in some cases, even more. If your remote doesn't have an audio jack, for example, you can use the mobile app to enable private listening.

Replace the remote control.

If the remote control is beyond the point of no return, it may still be covered under Roku's warranty. Contact tech support to find out.
