Xfinity Voice Remote Setup Guide
Everything you need to set up your new Xfinity voice remote.
How it works
Setting it up
1. Set up your TV
Turn on your TV and TV box.
2. Activate your remote
Your voice remote arrives with 2 AA batteries installed. Activate the remote by removing the “Pull” tab on the back.
3. Wait for the LED light
The status LED light will blink blue 3 times as your voice remote powers up. This should take about 5 seconds.
4. Select the voice button
Press the voice button while pointing at the TV Box. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete setup.
5. Try a voice command
Now that your voice remote is paired, press and hold the voice button and ask, “What can I say?” for suggestions—or say “Remote help” to see tips and tricks.
Now, let’s program your remote.
You’ll need to program your voice remote to control your TV and/or audio receiver’s power, volume, and input. To do this, go to Remote Settings on X1.
Need to pair with another TV Box?
No problem. Press and hold the A and D buttons until the status LED changes from red to green. Then press 9-8-1. Now repeat step 4 while pointing the remote at the new TV Box.

Can I program to select HDMI input from another device like a DVD player? I see a HDMI input socket next to HDMI output.
Can I program the Xfinity Voice Remote to select the HDMI input for a DVD player?
Yes, you can program your Xfinity Voice Remote to control the Input function of your TV, which allows you to switch to the HDMI port where your DVD player is connected. However, the remote is primarily designed to control the TV's power, volume, and input selection, rather than directly controlling the playback functions of a third-party DVD player.
To set this up, follow these steps:
Regarding the HDMI Input socket you see on your Xfinity TV Box: while some X1 boxes have an HDMI Input port, it is generally disabled or reserved for future use by Comcast. To view your DVD player, it is recommended to plug the DVD player directly into one of the HDMI ports on your TV, not the Xfinity box, and then use the remote's Input button to switch the TV to that source.
