Re: New Roku Remote Not working

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community, @smithmun47!

We appreciate you reaching out for support. We'd be happy to provide information about this and help you pair the correct remote.

Please be informed that we have various types of physical Roku remotes that are compatible with specific Roku devices. One is the Roku Players (simple) remote, which doesn't have Power and Volume buttons and works via IR. This remote doesn't need to be paired. 

Kindly consider checking the Roku Voice Remote and see its compatible devices section. 

I hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,
Carly

Re: New Roku Remote Not working

Just arrived, brand new Roku streaming stick 4K, model# 380X2, SN SOJ7343F1FCF.

 

Have spent more than an hour trying to pair the voice remote (home and back button model)
with the stick.

 

Should I just return for a refund becuase clearly something is wrong with the device,
remote or the setup process just doesn't work.

Re: New Roku Remote Not working

Welcome to the Roku Community, @lingcod!

Thank you for letting us know about this. No worries! We're here to provide further information and help you pair your physical Roku remote to your TV.

Please be informed that the remote that came with a Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a voice-activated remote that has a pairing button. Kindly refer to the steps provided below to help you pair this successfully. 

If your voice remote has a pairing button, it will be located either on the back of the remote or under the battery cover. Press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds, or until you see the status light begin to flash, to put your voice remote into pairing mode.

For reference, here's the support article: How to set up and pair your Roku Voice remote

I hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,
Carly
