Program xfinity x1 xr2 remote done easy as I can make this.
I just had Comcast come and install my x1 boxes and xr2 remotes. The technician programmed one remote with 1 tv easily. The Comcast technician had a bit of trouble with the other remote.
The tv that the Comcast guy had trouble with is a spectra 32 inch tv.
I googled like crazy for a good while before I found the instructions I need for this remote. Since the instruction pamphlet only had 5 codes and I tried them all. I was worried. But here is how I got my xr2 remote to work with my spectra tv.
Bottom left tiny button says “set up”
Press and hold the set up button until the all power button lights up and then turns green.
Once that happens
Start tapping the channel up button.
Took me about 30-35 presses of the channel up button before the remote went through the codes and found a suitable remote code for my spectra tv. Some tvs probably take less or more.
When the xr2 finds the right code the tv will shut off. At that moment do not press the channel up button again. In fact do not press any button except the set up button. Just press the set up button one time. After that just press the all power button. The tv should come back on. Test the xr2 remote by turning the volume up and down and power the tv off and back on.
You should be good.
If the code doesn’t work right start over. There may be another code built in made for your tv.
Thank you so much for the information. I have tried to program my x1 remote to a ProScan 32″ TV for hours. I’ve used every code listed, to no avail. Then used the suggested methode and to my delight, it worked. Now I am able to turn tv on/off and volume up/down, as well being able to use all of the features of my x1 remote with voice. Again thanks.
