Losing your television remote can be quite frustrating. Having to go through the entire setup process all over again can seem like such a hassle.

Luckily, Xfinity remotes aren’t like most remotes. They are relatively easy to pair to your TV, thanks to the online remote code lookup tool.

When I first had to pair my Xfinity remote to my TV, I was worried about the complexity.

I didn’t have a lot of time on my hands and thus wanted to get the setup process over with to fix my Xfinity Remote as soon as possible.

And so, I decided to search online to see if I could find anything that would make my job easier.

Thankfully, there’s an online remote code lookup tool on Xfinity’s official website.

So how do you pair your Xfinity remote to your TV?

To pair your Xfinity remote with your TV, open up the online code lookup tool, select the model of your Xfinity remote and the brand of your TV, and complete the setup using the code you receive.

In this article, we will take a look at how to program the X1, XR11, and XR15 remotes for your TV, as well as answer some frequently asked questions about Xfinity remotes.

Program X1 Remote For TV And Audio With Online Code Lookup Tool

You can program your X1 remote for both your TV and audio devices. To do this, all you need to do is go to Xfinity’s official website and find the Xfinity Remote Code Lookup Tool.

Pick the model of the remote that you own and press continue to find your TV’s (or audio system’s) unique code.

For remotes with a setup button like the XR11, press and hold the setup button until the status LED at the top of the remote turns green.

Once the remote is in setup mode, enter the four or five-digit code you found using the remote code lookup tool.

If the setup is successful, the status LED will flash green twice. If, however, the status LED blinks red, try using a different code.

For remotes without a setup button like the XR15, press and hold the Xfinity and mute buttons together while the TV is on until the status LED at the top of the remote turns green.

Once this happens, enter the four or five-digit remote code that you found earlier.

Similar to the XR11, if the status LED flashes green twice, it indicates that the setup was successful.

A red flash indicates that the setup failed, and you need to try a different code.

To pair the XR11 remote to your TV without using the remote code lookup tool, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn on your TV.
2. Change the TV input to the input connected to the Xfinity TV Box.
3. Press and hold the Setup button until the status LED at the top of the remote turns green.
4. Press the Xfinity button on the remote. The status LED will begin flashing green.
5. Enter the three-digit pairing code that displays on the screen.
6. Your XR11 remote is now paired to your TV.

Pair The XR15 Remote To A TV

To pair the XR15 remote to your TV without using the remote code lookup tool, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn on your TV.
2. Change the TV input to the input connected to the Xfinity TV Box.
3. Press and hold the Xfinity and info buttons together for about five seconds until the status LED at the top of the remote turns green.
4. Enter the three-digit pairing code that displays on the screen.
5. Your XR15 remote is now paired to your TV.
6. Once the remote has been paired successfully, follow the instructions on the screen to set up power, volume, and input control for your TV.

Remove TV And Audio Receiver Control

To remove TV and audio receiver control:

1. Press and hold the Setup button on your remote until the status LED at the top of the remote turns green.
2. Enter the code 9-8-6.
3. The status LED at the top of the remote will flash green twice to indicate that the remote has been successfully reset.

If this doesn’t work, fully reset your Xfinity Remote.

Pair Up your Xfinity Remote to your TV

Setting up your Xfinity remote using the remote code lookup tool makes the process quick and simple.

It is important to note that every TV manufacturer has multiple remote codes.

So, if one code does not work, you don’t have to worry. You can always try a different code.

If you find that none of the codes works for you, there may have been a problem during the setup, and you will have to perform a factory reset on your remote before setting it up again.
