Great video man. My Xbox layout was a little different, newer update I guess. It’s now in “General” then “TV & display options” then go to “device control” and the next steps are the same. Thanks a lot!
I did exactly as your video, using a Samsung TV. Got the same exact results saying it was set up. Yet it still doesn't control volume or channel changing.
For all the people I see saying your tv automatically connects with your xbox but the remote doesn't work, I was in the same boat until I manually added my tv instead of doing the automatic. It's easy, don't let the sound of it fool you. Worked on my Hisense just now.
Thank you so so much! I've had an X-box One for over a year now with this remote and have just now been able to get it to control the volume! Thank you again! I had to manually input the tv model but I left off the first two letters and then it found my model. The first time, I put in the entire model number and it did not locate my tv model.
@@jameschristoforou6541 I agree. What has me confused is that the guy in the video is somehow doing it without a Kinect. I wonder if he is using Alexa to help him?
That’s fantastic. May I know some of the search words that you used so I can update the search engine optimization of this one? so people can find it easier
@@LoganDunning xbox one remote codes then specifically vizio for me also xbox one remote programing for the 1 S. I😪 did end up reading alot of redit post and other site post, I think what really took me so long is that the menu has changed or is either different from the one to the S so the X might be also. My one crashed days ago I replaced it with the S so I'm guessing here cause the menu did look different. Thank again for ur feed back and happy new year
Thanks for this brief video with easy-learning full basic insight! Nailed it bro. I found this on the pdp site @ $19.99! (United States.) On a scale from 1:being completely useless, to 10: being super hypersonically fitted to Xbox One and good in app video viewing(youtube, etc..) 'Where would you place the free Cellphone WiFi Remote App?' Then, 'Where would you place this PDP Remote on that 1-10 scale?' Thanks again!
So when I first got the remote, it can pause and play a movie and all that... but like you said the other stuff like volume won't work. I did what you did and it isn't working.
Do you have the first (original) xbox one? If so you will need a kinect for it to work with your TV in terms of changing TV channels and controlling its volume.
@@owenrancourt6299 For the pdp talon remote to work on the original xbox one you need the original kinect since the ir blaster is built into it. The one s and one x have ir blasters built into it so there is no need for kinect for these xbox one consoles unless you are a mega fan of dancing games or something simliar of that nature.
How amazed I am to actually find a video explaining this makes my day. I've never known how to do it and I couldn't find anything online when I got mine. Thanks ^-^
Thanks! I work in IT and love to post videos of explanations of niche things and situations that would be helpful to everyone with that niche thing. thanks for the love!! :)
This does not work with the Series S and LG OLED TV's. The best I could do was get the Xbox to turn on the tv when it powered up. Unfortunately, that method does NOT turn on the soundbar with it. Also, the volume buttons still don't control either the TV or soundbar volume. Great remote regardless, but it isn't quite 100% compatible with CEC devices. This could be an LG issue since they don't like to play with many vendors. Either way, I still highly recommend this remote as it works for everything else. BONUS: I set the media button for HBO/MAX and it works great!
So the Xbox detects when you plug a TV box? I tried with a Nintendo Switch since I don't have any TV box here with me. But, to be frank, I don't know how does it detect the device.
I was using it for a while then I took the batteries out. Now this remote won’t seem to control anything. I don’t even need the TV features. I just want my remote to be able to control my Xbox.
Lil updatd got it to wrk but why do u have to point it directly to the Xbox I can't just point to the screen as u did. Perhaps I have to also do the device control but now with the up to date xbox updates it isn't anymore as uvd detailed it in ur video. Can you assist me to find the tv set up part like u did ?
Actually you need to have a HDMI CEC fuction on your TV if you want this to work. You are not copying any IR signal or "learning" the remote so yea. Doesn't work for older generation of TV's.
I just bought this. I was under the impression I could use it to control Netflix on my actual console, but I can't even do that. And it won't connect to my TV either.
Kit Blue it works for netflix for us! Amazon prime,plex and more! We have 3 xbox ones (2 s 1 x) in our house and 3 of these remotes! Maybe call their customers support?
So I had mine set up for months, worked great, but when I moved apartments and set everything up again the controls didn’t work, so I went through the steps exactly as you did but nothings working. No volume controls and no power controls. Any idea what’s wrong?
Is there anyway to set up the Xbox one talon media remote to when you hit the TV button on the remote it doesn't send you to the one guide it send you to Hulu TV? Thanks in advance
I have my PC right next to my Xbox One. Every time I use my Xbox One media remote to turn on the Xbox, it also turns on my PC. HOW DO I DISABLE THIS?! It’s driving me crazy.
I followed these steps and still won’t control volume and tv. The Xbox does say it found my tv just like in your video. Then tried manual and it even had my model on it. Still won’t. Do I need a Kinect or something?
If it doesn't find it automatically you can do the manual option, then follow the choices. You may have to play it the different options before I'll items work. Also xbox must not be in a closed cabinet to work. Hope that helps!
But what if your sound bar is blue tooth? Because my volume up and down is not controlling it but the channel up and down works. How can I get it to control the volume on the sound bar?
Mine doesn’t automatically connect, does anyone know how to connect it, it asks for a tv remote code but what even is that and how do I find out what mine is ?
Do the TV setup and select to it manually. If you don't sew your brand in the list you can enter it and then you get 2 options. You can enter your tv model or you can be guided through the xbox trying different codes foe that brand. I just dis thia for my Hisense H8f. You will be prompted to have the xbox send various commands to the tv to get the right codes, like mute/vol up/ect. I had to have it resend the info/display settings command 3 times before it got the right code. Works great now. Also it initially said that the xbox already knew how to automatically talk to my tv but the remote wouldn't work until i did it manually.
The actual IR blaster on the xbox is supposedly in the front of the xbox, but I found that it seems to hit the tv really well anywhere it is. Pointing the remote at the xbox front, then the xbox front will retranslate the IR out through the front xbox IR blaster at the tv. Hope that makes sense and helps!
It should be, do the manual tv set up, aside from entering the tv name it's all automatic really. My Hisense would automatically connect but the remote didn't work until I dis the manual setup.
QUESTION: I have this remote. It is not nearly as bright, and the light does not remain on nearly as long when you move the remote. It is virtually useless, because the light is so dim and stays on such a short period of time. Do you know if there is a way to change the brightness of the remote control and how long the light remains on when the remote control is moved?
I have the same experience, the Only help I can give is after you change the batteries the light is brighter and stays on a little bit longer. As the batteries die in it it seems to be more dim and on for a shorter period. Hope that helps
It’s a bit of a complicated process. But the Xbox needs to see the IR sensor of the TV in order to blast it out. Keep trying hopefully you have some good luck
This remote has a button specifically designated Movies (button no. 5 on the enclosed instructions) and a button specifically designated TV Shows (button no. 11 on the enclosed instructions) however, as far as I can tell, they are not individually configurable? Whichever app you assign on the Xbox One X Media Remote settings page to launch when you press the One Guide button is also launched when you press either of these buttons. Has anyone found a way of individually configuring the Movies and TV Shows buttons?
@@LoganDunning Sadly not. I can't understand why an 'official' Xbox remote would have two buttons that have specifically individual titles assigned to them and them NOT be independently configurable?
There's additional settings in the menu for when to turn on and off, what remote codes and more. Sometimes it takes a bit of googling model numbers and remote codes before you find a quick fix. I had to keep changing settings until it worked perfectly. Best of luck!
The controller just has to send the infrared commands to the TV for the volume. So if you pick the right TV it should change the volume if that makes sense. Hope that helps
Hi does anyone know if its possible to configure the remote itself, I would like the remote's light to go ON and OFF with a setted button, not when it barely moves. Kinda going through batteries quick. Thanks!
This might not be your issue but, we found that there’s a little bit of a delay so you have to set the Xbox to instant on as apossed to power saving mode and then it worked very well. Hope that helps
Settings, then Power & startup. Under Power Options, highlight the Power mode, then press the "A" button on the controller to toggle between instant-on and energy saving Hope that helps
That’s great. I did it also out of the box mute, and control the volume? Are you able to post your TV model number to help others know what the default settings generally work with? Thanks so much have a great day
OK great thank you so much. In the mute and volume up and down worked as well? Did it also work to turn it on and off? Like turning off the Xbox would turn off the TV so to speak?
Amazing remote. Was 5$ today for me. Got it in a walmart clearance bin lol. definitely a steal. 100% satisfied.😃👍
Love deals like that
