How to sync Roku Remote without pairing button

If your remote control does not have a pairing button, that means it is the standard IR remote control. Here are ways to synchronize your remote if you seem to have problems:

Remove obstructions. Your standard Roku IR remote control will only work if it points directly to your player. To synchronize correctly, remove objects that may be blocking the signal from the remote control to the transmission device.

Reset the remote batteries. Often, synchronization will not work if the batteries are not placed correctly in their compartment. Simply remove them and replace them. Point the remote control at the transmission device and check if the remedy has worked.

Replace the batteries. If removing blockages or resetting the batteries did not work, it may be time to replace the batteries. Get new ones, place them in the battery compartment, point the remote control towards the player and check if it starts to sync.
