    For a variety of reasons, if you picked up a new Chromecast with Google TV you may have skipped out on setting up the TV controls during your initial out of box experience. I know I did initially (we unboxed and set up on camera, so I bypassed that part) and had to figure out how to go back and get our office TV under the control of that sweet Chromecast remote that came in the box. Rest assured, the process is simple once you know where to look. Let's go over it, shall we?

    Good to see things are not broken. Like when I click on tv it just takes me back over and over. So sick of everything being broke

    You just solved the last bugaboo I had with this device - being able to rely on its remote for everything associated with the hardware. I no longer need to use my Logitech remote to turn things on and off. So I thank you. More importantly this is maybe the third or fourth video I've seen of yours and I really appreciate your no nonsense, straightforward, clear and unencumbered information. No backstory or long lead-ins or comparisons just what I need to know and why. So thank you again.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I hooked my new Google TV Chromecast up to a ROKU TV and, up until watching your video, had 3 remotes going. Now I'm down to just one. Set the volume to the soundbar and the power/input to the TV. Thanks again.

    I hope they improve the support over the buttons. The remotes will have problems with TVs with an input screen as the button will only load the screens and work as scroll. The remote can't actually select the sought after input.

    It would be good if the directional buttons also could work with IR in different sources so then it truly would be the only remote you neeed.

    Bonus: if your Chromecast is powered independently from the TV, you can use the assistant button even when the TV is turned off. Just give the command and the TV will automatically go to what you want to watch.

    If you press and hold the RUclips button on the remote you can set up that button to default to either RUclips or RUclips TV when it is pressed. The factory default is RUclips. I switched mine to RUclips tv. This is really useful if you're using chromecast mainly for RUclips tv.

    This helped a lot. After LG flat panel died, I replaced with Hisense panel and a new Denon AVR. Unfortunately the 9 codes for the Denon volume control did not work. I tried the Auto CEC and sure enough I can now control the volume on the Denon AVR. Wife is loving having only one remote.

  • @DaveSteinberg
    @DaveSteinberg 3 года назад +3

    I've found that using the Chromecast remote to control my TV volume isn't as nice I'd imagined it would be. In particular, it makes casting a second-class experience, as I can't control the volume from my phone. It's especially bad when using the new Chromecast in an audio group. So I prefer setting Volume control to Chromecast volume, which enables the Chromecast's internal volume control, just like how Chromecast devices have always worked.

    Thanks for the video, switched from CEC to IR. I noticed you also had a chromecast ultra plugged into the same tv. When I do this the chromecast with google tv flickers so I can't keep the ultra plugged in. Do you experience the same thing?

    Assuming you have an Tv app installed that after getting in you need to work with 1-9 digit to get into some channels - how would you do it? can you do it from the google controller or you suggest to work the the CEC feature and the default controller comes with the TV brand?

Thanks for your time.

    Hey I have a TCL Roku tv I just got the Google tv I love it but unfortunately I can't use the left, right, up and down controls on the remote on my TV home screen. When I power on my tv I then have to go left to be able to access the google tv input to access google tv, I also cannot scroll through inputs as you can in the video. I'm wondering if this is just my tv or am I missing a step and there is a way to control this?
