First, make sure that your Roku player is connected to the internet and that your remote is within range. If you’re not sure how to do this, consult your Roku’s documentation.

Next, go to the Roku settings menu and select “Remote & devices.” Find the entry for “Remote control.” If there is more than one entry, select the one that corresponds to the type of remote you are using (standard IR or enhanced bluetooth).

Finally, select “Sync remote.” Your remote should now be paired with your Roku player and should work as normal.
