When you order the Xfinity TV services, you receive an Xfinity Voice Control Remote, which enables you to change settings and go through channels and TV shows - all at the command of your voice. The remote comes in three specific variants, the XR11, the XR15, and the XR16. Learn more about it in this blog.

Overview of the Xfinity Voice Remote

The Xfinity Voice Remote lets you control an Xfinity TV box primarily. ‘Voice’ is the key term, here, since it follows your verbal commands and allows you to manage everything just by using your voice.

Moreover, it comes in the shape of three models that have very slight differences between them. However, on the unavailability of a remote, you can even use an Xfinity Adaptive Remote, which works like an on-screen remote.

What all of these remotes have in common is that they possess a voice command feature, which makes your entertainment navigation very intuitive and smart. The key difference is in a few buttons.

Pairing and Programming your Xfinity Voice Control Remote

After acquiring the Xfinity Voice Control Remote of your choice, the next thing you will have to do is pair your remote with your TV Box if you have Xfinity X1. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do that:

  • Point your remote towards the TV Box and press the microphone button on your remote, which activates the voice control feature. Then, you need to say “Program remote” and follow the instructions that you see on your screen.
  • However, in the case of not having a voice remote, aim your remote towards the TV and hit the A button. Then, choose Remote Setup on your TV and you will be asked “Do you want to use your remote to control your TV power and volume” to which you should say
  • Then, enter the brand of your TV by selecting the letters you see on the screen and hit
  • A notification should then say that your remote is Ready to Pair. Select OK
  • Try changing the volume to see if the remote works; if it does, hit “It Works!” and if it doesn’t, hit “It Doesn’t Work”.

Programming your Xfinity Voice Remote with the Xfinity My Account App

One of the easiest methods to program your Xfinity Voice Remote with your TV is by using your mobile phone, which makes the whole process hassle-free. All you need to do is open the Xfinity My Account App on your Android or Apple device and follow these steps:

  • Tap on the TV icon and pick your TV Box. Then, select Setup a Remote.
  • Keep swiping until you find the model of your remote, the one that you wish to program, and then tap
  • Pick TV or Audio/Other, and follow the instructions that you see after that for a successful setup of your remote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Voice Control?

You need to activate the voice control feature by pressing and holding the microphone button on your Xfinity Voice Remote. Then, while keeping the button pressed, speak your command into the microphone and let go of the button as soon as you are done.

When is the microphone on?

Just as you press and hold the microphone button, the microphone turns on with a brief sound. As soon as you let go of the button, the microphone turns off with another brief sound.

Why won’t the Voice Remote work with my other Xfinity TV Boxes?

As soon as your Xfinity Voice Control Remote is paired with a specific TV Box, it establishes a unique connection and will not work on other Xfinity TV Boxes as long as the remote is paired with them individually.
