How to program your Xfinity Soundbar with Step-by-Step Instructions
Because Xfinity remotes work with various soundbars and audio/video receivers, we need to go into more detail. Xfinity X1 and Xfinity XR-15 model types can be programmed step-by-step using the following guide.
Remote control programming for Xfinity X
Xfinity X remotes can easily be programmed to your soundbar device. You shouldn’t have any trouble with this, even with technical problems. To complete this process, you will need the manufacturer’s code for the soundbar.
The steps are as follows:
Default the output receiver to your Soundbar
Before connecting or programming anything, you should ensure your soundbar is set as the default output receiver. Without this change, your TV’s built-in speakers will probably continue to output sound.
You will need an HDMI ARC cable or an optical cable to connect your soundbar to your TV. The next step requires the connection of these two.
Press ‘Setup’ on your remote.
We can move forward if your TV and soundbar are connected and the default output is listed. Xfinity’s remote must be connected to the soundbar now. The ‘Setup’ button on your remote will allow you to do this. The button needs to be held for a few seconds.
Watch the LED light turn green.
Holding the ‘Setup’ button for a few seconds should initiate the setup process. Upon turning green, the red LED will indicate that the process is complete. On the top of your remote, you’ll find an LED light.
Enter the manufacturer’s code for the soundbar
You will need the manufacturer’s code after the light turns green to use the soundbar. If you’re unsure, it’s a five-digit code listed on the device’s specs. For more information about the specific regulation of your model, click here. Upon receiving the code, you can enter it as instructed.
Wait until the LED light flashes green twice.
To use the device, you must wait until the green LED light flashes twice after entering the code. Xfinity will notify you when the remote has been programmed with this signal.
Run a remote test
You are ready to use the device when the LED flashes green twice. Now, you just need to make sure your remote is connected. Make sure the power and volume control works correctly.
What should you do if the Xfinity Remote won’t connect to your soundbar?
You can try a few things if you’re having trouble programming your Xfinity remote to control your soundbar.
Press the code 9-9-2 and hold the Channel Up button for up to three minutes if your Xfinity remote cannot be programmed to your Soundbar. Initiate the programming steps again.
Secondly, make sure that the batteries in your remote are fresh. If they’re not, replace them and try again.
Next, check if your soundbar is compatible with the Xfinity remote. You can find a list of compatible devices on the Xfinity website.
If your soundbar is compatible, the next step is to reset your Xfinity remote. To do this, press and hold the Setup button for three seconds, then release it. The red light at the top of the remote will blink twice, indicating that it’s been reset.
