Question:

How can I use a JVC integrated remote with a different Roku device?

I have a JVC TV that came with a Roku stick and an integrated remote. I want to replace the Roku stick with another Roku device, but I don’t know if the remote will work with it. Is there a way to hack or pair the remote with a different Roku device? I prefer not to use my cell phone as a remote control.

Answer:

If you have a JVC TV that came with a Roku stick and an integrated remote, you might wonder if you can use the same remote with a different Roku device. For example, you might want to upgrade to a newer Roku model, or use a different Roku device in another room. The good news is that you can use your JVC integrated remote with any Roku device, as long as you follow some simple steps.

The JVC integrated remote is actually a Roku enhanced remote, which means it uses wireless technology to communicate with your Roku device. Unlike infrared remotes, which require direct line of sight, wireless remotes can work from anywhere in the room. However, wireless remotes also need to be paired with the Roku device they are controlling. This means that if you want to use your JVC integrated remote with a different Roku device, you need to pair it first.

To pair your JVC integrated remote with a different Roku device, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your JVC TV and the Roku device you want to pair with.

2. Press and hold the pairing button inside the battery compartment of your JVC integrated remote for about three seconds, until the LED light starts flashing.

3. Wait for the pairing process to complete. You should see a message on your TV screen that says “Remote paired successfully”.

4. Test your JVC integrated remote by pressing any button. It should work with your new Roku device.

If the pairing process fails, try these troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure your JVC TV and Roku device are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Make sure your JVC integrated remote has fresh batteries.
• Move your JVC integrated remote closer to your Roku device and away from any sources of interference, such as metal objects, wireless routers, or other wireless devices.
• Restart your JVC TV and Roku device by unplugging them from the power outlet for a few seconds, then plugging them back in.
• Repeat the pairing process.

following these steps, you should be able to use your JVC integrated remote with any Roku device you want. This way, you can enjoy the convenience of having one remote for both your TV and your streaming device, without having to use your cell phone as a remote control. Happy streaming!
