To program an Xfinity remote to control a DVD player, follow these steps:
- Turn on your DVD player: Make sure your DVD player is turned on before programming the Xfinity remote.
- Press and hold the “Setup” button: On your Xfinity remote, press and hold the “Setup” button until the LED light on the remote turns green. This indicates that the remote is ready to be programmed.
- Enter the DVD player code: Using the number keypad on your Xfinity remote, enter the DVD player code. You can find a list of DVD player codes in the Xfinity remote user manual, or you can find the code online. Once you have entered the code, the LED light on the remote will blink twice to indicate that the code has been accepted.
- Test the remote: Test the remote to make sure it is working properly. Point the remote at your DVD player and press the “Power” button. If the DVD player turns on or off, the remote is programmed correctly.
If the remote is not working, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Check the batteries in the remote and make sure they are not low or dead.
- Make sure the Xfinity remote is pointing directly at the DVD player.
- Try programming the remote again using a different DVD player code.
- Reset the Xfinity remote by pressing and holding the “Setup” button until the LED light turns red, then release the button and enter 9-8-1. The LED light will blink green twice to confirm the reset.
Once the Xfinity remote is programmed to control your DVD player, you can use it to do the following:
- Turn the DVD player on and off
- Play, pause, stop, and rewind movies
- Change chapters or tracks
- Access menu options
If your DVD player is a Blu-ray player, you may also be able to program the Xfinity remote to control other features, such as streaming services or internet apps. To do so, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the “Setup” button: On your Xfinity remote, press and hold the “Setup” button until the LED light on the remote turns green.
- Enter the Blu-ray player code: Using the number keypad on your Xfinity remote, enter the Blu-ray player code. You can find a list of Blu-ray player codes in the Xfinity remote user manual or online.
- Test the remote: Test the remote to make sure it is working properly. Point the remote at the Blu-ray player and press the appropriate button (e.g., “Netflix” for streaming). If the device launches the service, the remote is programmed correctly.
If the remote is not working, try the same troubleshooting steps as for programming the DVD player.
In conclusion, programming an Xfinity remote to control a DVD player is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps. Once the remote is programmed, you can use it to control your DVD player, play, pause, stop, rewind movies, and access menu options. If your DVD player is a Blu-ray player, you may also be able to program the Xfinity remote to control other features, such as streaming services or internet apps.
