Usually, its a breeze to link a universal remote with your Roku, as long as youve got one of the compatible remotes. Youll need your remotes model name and number to match with the options listed on Rokus remote control compatibility page. To locate the model, check the front and the rear of the remote.

I have two universal remotes that work with Rokus. However, the back-arrow button isn't always there, which makes it annoying, but it's better than having 2 remotes.

This article explains how to pair a Roku IR or Point Anywhere remote automatically, reset or re-pair a remote, add a new remote, and unpair a remote.

How to Connect a Roku IR Remote

Some Roku remotes use IR (Infrared Light) and require line-of-sight to work with a Roku, but don't require actual pairing.

If your Roku device comes with an IR remote, insert the batteries (either AA or AAA), then point and push the buttons you need to use. No additional pairing is required.

How to Pair a Roku Point Anywhere or Enhanced Remote

Standard and Enhanced Point Anywhere remotes, on the other hand, use RF (radio frequency), Bluetooth, orWi-Fi Direct and don't need line-of-sight but must be paired with a Roku device before they can be used.

To identify an Enhanced remote, look for one or more of the following features:

Voice control.
Power and on/off button for a TV.
Two gaming control buttons (A and B).
Headphone jack.
Remote finder alert.

If you're setting up a Roku box, stick, or TV that comes with a point anywhere/enhanced remote for the first time, follow these steps:

Insert the batteries.
Make sure the Roku TV or player is on.
Hold or place the remote close to your device. The Roku TV or player will detect the remote and execute pairing automatically.

How to Re-Pair or Reset a Roku Remote

If you need to re-pair or reset a Roku remote, the process is simple. Follow these steps:

Disconnect your Roku device from power and reconnect it after about 5 seconds.
When thehome menu appears on your TV screen, insert the batteries into your remote, but leave the battery compartment open.
Locate the pairing button in the battery compartment of the remote.
If there is no pairing button present, you have a standard IR Remote.
After locating the pairing button for your remote, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds or until you see the pairing light on the remote begin to flash.
If the indicator light does not flash, try again. If the light still doesn't flash, try a different set of batteries.
Wait 30 seconds while the Roku device executes the remote pairing process. You should see a message on your TV stating the pairing has been completed.

How to Add a New or Second Remote

You can add a new remote or add a second remote to control the same Roku TV or player. This is convenient if you have gaming remotes as it will accommodate two-person gameplay on compatible games.

In the Home Menu,scroll down to Settings on the category menu on the left side of the screen.
Select Remotes & Devices.
Choose Set up a new device.
Choose Remote.
The next page will provide you with the instructions you need to pair your new remote.
If the pairing doesn't take on the first attempt, repeat the steps.

How to Unpair a Roku Remote

Sometimes unpairing a Roku remote can fix issues you're having with it. The unpairing process is about as easy as pairing.

Simultaneously press and hold the Home, Back, and Pairing buttons on the remote for 3-5 seconds.
The indicator light should blink 3 times.
You can confirm unpairing by pressing some of the remote control buttons to see if your Roku TV or player responds. If it doesn't, it has been unpaired.
