- [RESET BUTTON] Used to reset your Streaming Stick (you probably won’t ever have to use this).
What to do Plug it in Plug your Roku Streaming Stick into the MHL port of your TV or other Roku Ready device. Simple as that!
Power up
First, power your Roku remote by inserting the included batteries:
- Locate and open the rectangular battery door on the rear of the unit.
- Insert the batteries into their slots, making sure to match the positive (+) and negative (-) signs.
- Place the battery door back over the compartment and press it gently down until the latch snaps securely into place.
- If the LED on the front of the remote is blinking, it means it is trying to pair to the Roku Streaming Stick. The remote is ready for use when the LED stops blinking and turns off.
Connect to network Now you can grab that Roku remote and jump right into guided setup. When prompted, select “Wireless” as your network connection and have your network name and password ready to do the following:
- Select your network from the list of available networks.
- Enter your network password, if you use one. Remember, network passwords are case-sensitive.
Complete guided setup It’s the final stretch and hooray—it’s a breeze! Continue following the on-screen instructions and you’ll:
- Get the latest software.
- Link the Roku Streaming Stick to your Roku account on your computer.
Your Roku account: During setup, you’ll be prompted to create your Roku account online at roku.com/link. Your Roku Streaming Stick will generate a unique code that links your player to your new account. Roku accounts are free and secure. And while a valid credit card number is required to create your account, rest assured you will only be charged if you authorize purchases of apps and games from the Roku Channel Store. Know your Roku remote The Roku remote should feel right at home in your hand. We designed it to be incredibly intuitive for watching TV and great for gaming, too!

Cool: Because your enhanced remote uses radio frequency instead of infrared, you don’t need to have a direct line of sight to your Roku!
Get your game on!
Just a couple of fun-facts about your Roku-enhanced remote.
- It’s sensitive and smart. The Roku remote incorporates motion-sensing technology, allowing more precise and detailed control of gameplay.
- It comes with an adjustable wrist strap—for good reason. Since some games make you sweat, sporting the wrist strap is a very good idea. You don’t want to crack the screen of your beautiful TV—or harm anyone or anything around you.
Buckle up: Open the lever on the strap lock and place your hand through the wrist strap. Hold the remote firmly in your hand. Slide the strap lock up so that the strap will not fall off your wrist. Do not over-tighten the strap lock so that it’s uncomfortable.
Troubleshooting
Have trouble completing setup? Don’t worry: it’s usually an easy fix. If you cannot see a picture on your TV:
- Make sure your TV is turned on. (This tip could save you some embarrassment.)
- Make sure the video input on your TV or home theater receiver is set to match the output (usually HDMI or MHL) used with the Roku Streaming Stick. Most TVs have an Input button on the remote control to change video inputs.
If you cannot connect to your wireless home network during guided setup:
- If you are not getting 3 or more signal-strength bars above your wireless network, adjust the location of your Roku Streaming Stick and/or wireless router. Make sure there are no obstructions, like cement walls, between your Roku Streaming Stick and your wireless router.
- Make sure you select the correct wireless router name on the “Wireless” screen.
- Make sure you enter the correct password, if your network is security-enabled (password is case sensitive).
- If you have turned off SSID broadcasting on your wireless router, you can add your network by selecting “My network is not shown” from the “Wireless” screen.
- Make sure the connectors on the cables between your TV and home theater receiver are pushed in all the way.
- Make sure the volume on your TV or home theater receiver is turned up and isn’t on mute.
- Make sure the input on your TV or home theater receiver matches the output (HDMI or MHL) used with your Roku Streaming Stick.
- Try moving closer to your Roku Streaming Stick.
- Make sure the batteries are fresh (or new) and inserted properly.
- Make sure your remote is paired (see next section) with the Roku Streaming Stick.
- If the Status Light on the front of your Roku Streaming Stick flashes once each time you press a remote button, the problem is not with the remote.
- <<>>It’s unlikely but if your remote becomes warm or hot to the touch after inserting the batteries, immediately discontinue use. Do not attempt to remove the batteries while the unit is hot. Contact Roku Customer Support immediately at 888-600-7658
Pairing your remote control: The Roku remote should automatically pair with your Roku Streaming Stick at the beginning of setup. If you are not able to use the remote to navigate through Guided Setup, you can manually pair the Roku remote by following these steps:
- Prepare your Roku Streaming Stick to pair by removing the stick and plugging it back in.
- Open the Roku remote battery compartment.
- Place the Roku remote in close proximity with your Roku Streaming Stick.
- Press and hold the pairing button inside the battery compartment for 3 seconds.
- Try using the remote again.

FAQS
the recharable battery is designed to stay in the remote. You will only need to plug the remote in using the micro-USB cord provided. This allows the remote to be in use while it’s charging!
It cannot directly control other devices connected to your TV, such as an audio/video receiver (AVR) or soundbar. However, your TV may be able to issue volume commands to your AVR or soundbar using a technology called HDMI CEC. In these cases, your new remote can indirectly control volume for your AVR or soundbar. For this to work, all your devices must be connected via HDMI, and all devices must support HDMI CEC and have this feature enabled.
The Roku website says this: “This remote is designed to work with any Roku TV™, Roku audio device, and most Roku players.”
Yes! The Voice Remote Pro is compatible with all Roku TVs.
Look it up on the Roku website
Yes. Just not the headphones. The sound is terrible.
The previous answer here, 1 year warranty, is probably technically correct. But a warranty is only as good as the issuer’s willingness to honor it, and Roku’s willingness and honor are about zero.
If it’s not currently available, it will be back at some point since it’s their top of the line remote.
A full charge takes roughly 3 hours and lasts approximately 2 months under normal use. (Note that normal use can vary from person to person, and heavy private listening use drains the battery more quickly.)
It works inside apps. You can use voice as if you were typing
Plastic like all remotes
NO
Although the remote only supports wired headphones, you can pair your headphones with a phone and connect your TV to the Roku app to accomplish the same thing.
It pairs with nearly everything roku has made, but some off the tv’s need to be checked before purchase.
Yup. If it’s a newer model Roku, it works
If you mean wire earbuds yes it has a hole on the remote
our TV Brand does not have to be Roku but you should have Roku Connected to your TV to use this remote at full functionality. All TVs are not supported for the Power and Volume Functions in your settings menu you can link the remote to most TVs.

how do I remove shows I have watched from resume list?
How do I remove watched shows from the resume list on Roku?
To remove shows from your "Continue Watching" or resume list on Roku, follow these steps:
If you are trying to remove content from within a specific app (like Netflix or Hulu), you may need to use that app's specific profile settings or history management tools, as each channel manages its own internal resume lists differently.
Note: The "Continue Watching" row is a relatively new feature on the Roku home screen that aggregates content from multiple supported apps. If you do not see the option to remove it, ensure your Roku software is up to date by going to Settings > System > System update.

What does it mean when my roku keeps saying but 1 of 73 or 2 other number
What does it mean when my Roku says '1 of 73' or other numbers?
When your Roku displays a message like "1 of 73," it typically indicates that the device is performing a software update or re-indexing its channel list. This often happens after a system reset, a long period of being powered off, or when a major firmware update is being installed.
The numbers represent the progress of the update or the number of apps being re-installed/updated. Here is what you should do:
If the issue persists or the device restarts and begins the count again repeatedly, you may need to perform a factory reset using the Reset Button on the back of your Streaming Stick, as mentioned in the manual.

I replaced my Samsung with a Sony tv. How do I sync the roku remote to turn on and off my Sony and change volume?
How do I sync my Roku remote to control power and volume on a Sony TV?
To sync your Roku remote with your new Sony TV for power and volume control, follow these steps:

Additionally, ensure HDMI CEC is enabled on your Sony TV (often called "Bravia Sync" on Sony models) to allow the Roku device to communicate power commands over the HDMI cable.
For further assistance, you can visit roku.com/support.
Note: If your remote is not responding at all, you may need to re-pair it to the Roku stick first by holding the pairing button inside the battery compartment for 3 seconds.

ROKU remote control, like other ROKU devices, is the work of a person who does not know the technical design of electronic products and the writer of the manual. Full of too much confusion. It may be that ROKU headquarters handed over this product to Vietnamese manufacturers for almost all processes such as design and manufacturing, instead of letting Vietnamese manufacturers with low technical levels only take care of product processing. E.g:
1. This manual never identifies what “A” is for;
2. What use is the wristband this fancy thing for users who don’t play video games? When I followed the instructions and pulled the wrist strap, there was no lever at all, but the upper cover of the battery box was pulled out. That being the case, why not use scissors to cut off the wristband?
3. Regardless of the manual here or the product setting list, the three ROKU products (ROKU Express, ROKU Enhanced, and ROKU TV) are often confused, and the correct approach is to introduce them in different categories. Considering that Vietnamese manufacturers only undertake processing tasks. The responsibility should be the headquarters of ROKU in the United States. In order to make money, ROKU even pushed the basic instructions to Vietnam in order to make the most profit.
ROKU 遥控器就像其他ROKU 设备那样，是一个不懂得电子产品技术设计以及说明书撰写人的作品。充满太多的困惑。这可能是ROKU 总部把这个产品交给越南厂家进行设计、制造等等几乎所有流程，而不是让技术水平低下的越南厂家只担负产品加工。例如：
1. 这个说明书从来不标识“A”干什么用；
2. 腕带这个花俏东西，对于不玩电子游戏的用户，有什么用？当我照说明，拉腕带时，根本没有什么拉杆，而是电池盒的上盖整个被拉出来。既然如此，为何不用剪刀把腕带剪掉？
3. 不管是这里的说明书，还是产品的设置清单，往往把ROKU的三种产品（ROKU Express, ROKU Enhanced, ROKU 电视）混为一谈，而正确的做法是要分门别类地介绍。考虑到越南厂家只是承担加工任务。责任应当是美国 ROKU 总部，为了赚钱，ROKU 连基本的说明都推给越南，以便赚取最大利润。

What is the 'A' button for on the Roku remote, and how do I use the wrist strap?
The Roku remote is designed for both media streaming and gaming. Here are the answers to your specific questions:
If pulling the strap causes the battery cover to come off, ensure the battery door is fully snapped into place before use. If you do not play games, you can certainly remove the strap with scissors, as it is not required for standard TV navigation.
Regarding the confusion between models, Roku often uses a universal remote design across several products like the Roku Express and Streaming Stick, which is why the manual may cover multiple features that apply to different devices.

What should I do if my TV screen is black and there is no volume?
If your TV screen has gone black and you have lost audio, please try the following troubleshooting steps based on the Roku Streaming Stick guide:
Since you mentioned that a reset did not help and the device is only a few days old, if these steps do not restore the picture and sound, you may need to contact Roku Customer Support at 888-600-7658 or visit roku.com/support for further assistance.
Note: As you mentioned a 65-inch TV, please ensure the Roku Streaming Stick is receiving adequate power, as some larger TVs may require the stick to be powered via a wall outlet rather than a USB port if it is not an MHL-compatible port.

how do i go back to previous channel?
How do I go back to the previous channel on a Roku remote?
To return to the previous screen or channel on your Roku remote, press the Back button, which is typically located at the top left of the navigation pad and is represented by a left-pointing arrow.
If you are looking to quickly jump back to a previous video segment, you can also use the Instant Replay button (represented by a circular arrow) to replay the last 7 seconds of video. Note that the specific behavior of the "Back" button can vary depending on the app you are using; in many live TV apps, it may return you to the channel guide or the previous screen rather than a direct "last channel" toggle found on traditional cable remotes.
