    I'm sorry, but if it needed two remotes originally, then the roku remote probably can't control the projector's volume and power. You could look up known projector brands like epson, optoma, benq, lg, and so on.  

    Yes, you should get a universal that allow for code search, and blink back of code result. Then you up all brands that use that code in the library code list, then try the same brands in the roku remote.

    Perhaps Tivoburkee has an idea on this one.  He is the remote code specialist here.

    I am thinking you have something similar to the RCA RPJ133. (Looks like a projector powered by a Roku Streaming Stick and indicates it includes a Voice Remote). [https://www.amazon.com/RCA-RPJ-133-Theater-Projector-Streaming/dp/B083TD3V4J].

    Essentially, it is a RCA projector bundled with a Roku Streaming Stick.

    From what I read, seems like most users have it connected to soundbars or speakers and didn't see any questions about the remote not working directly with the projector.  

    Did it include 2 remotes (1 RCA remote for the projector, 1 Roku remote for the Streaming stick).

        I am thinking that the included Roku remote may not be able to control the volume of the projector directly.  I am no remote enthusiast though, but I did not find any instructions on programming Roku remotes to a projector.  (I am not sure if Roku remotes have IR codes for projectors).

        I think you have to have a peripheral audio setup like an Audio Video Receiver or the like for the Roku remote to control the volume. (And then, assumingly , you plug the Streaming Stick into the Receiver with HDMI to the projector).

        You may have to get a compatible RCA or universal remote for the projector with your setup as it is.

        Still hoping Tivoburkee will find time to stop by and weigh in.  Hesitate to give you wrong advice.

      Yes. I have since upgraded to the Roku pro remote and can't get the volume or power buttons programed. I've seen the other posts that mention trying Onn but it did not work either.

    We are having trouble getting the Roku remote that came with our RCA RPJ133-B Home Theater Projector to pair with the device.  The roku screen is displayed but the remote will not work with it at all.  The directions say the remote will pair with the device automatically when the batteries are placed in it, but not so.  Any advice?

      Hi mkterrell 

      Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

      We would recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in this support link: How to fix your Roku voice or simple remote that is not working. If still no dice, please reply here with the serial number of the Roku device associated with the affected remote. This can be found at the back or underneath the player itself.

      We'll keep an eye out for your reply.


      All the best,
      Kariza

        I am having the same issue and I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps. The remote it came with is a voice remote I believe.
