[RokuJohnB]

Hi @andreabryant,

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!

We understand you're having a problem with the Roku remote since it will not work to navigate into the language selection screen. No worries; help is here. Please try these troubleshooting steps below:

Put your streaming device in pairing mode.

1. Remove the power cable from your streaming device.
2. Wait at least 5 seconds.
3. Re-connect the power cable.
4. Wait for your streaming device to power on and the Home screen to appear on your TV screen.
5. Within 30 seconds of seeing the Home screen on your TV screen, put your voice remote into pairing mode.

Put your voice remote in pairing mode.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your voice remote.
2. Remove both batteries from the battery compartment.
3. Wait 5 seconds, and then reinsert the batteries.
4. If your remote has a pairing button, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds, or until you see the status light begin to flash.
5. If your remote does not have a pairing button, press and hold both the Home button and Back button for 5 seconds, or until you see the status light begin to flash.
6. If the status light does not flash, try replacing the batteries.
7. Wait for 30 seconds while the remote establishes a connection with your streaming device.

Once your streaming device and remote are connected, the pairing dialog will appear on your TV screen.

Replace your remote batteries.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your remote.
2. Remove both batteries from the battery compartment.
3. Replace the batteries with a new matching pair and test again.

Hold the back arrow and home button together and a green light should flash. A remote icon loading screen should come up on the tv showing that it’s pairing. If the remote icon screen is still lading up. Reset the tv and do the process again and it should work

My Roku TV is stuck on set up language screen and my remote which does not have a pairing button won't work.

@yvestony18, is it the remote that came with the TV or are you trying to use a remote from a different Roku device?  What brand of TV is it - TCL, Sharp, onn, Hisense, etc., or a Roku TV made by Roku themselves?  Is it a Voice remote with a microphone button on it?  If it's not a TV made by Roku and not a Voice remote, I believe the remote should have the same brand name on it as the TV.
