2. Initial Connection
The Nyko Media Remote uses infrared (IR) technology. No manual pairing is required for the Xbox One. Simply ensure a clear line of sight between the remote's IR emitter and the Xbox One's IR receiver.
For TV control functions (volume, channels, power), your TV must be configured to respond to the Xbox One's IR signals, typically through the Xbox One's OneGuide settings. The remote sends commands to the Xbox One, which then relays them to your TV via its IR blaster (if configured) or Kinect sensor.
