Using your Voice remote
- First, press and hold down the button to enable voice command.
- Say your voice command while holding the button down.
It’s as simple as that! Your command can be a single word (e.g., a channel’s name) or an entire sentence.
You don’t have to change the way you talk; keep your voice natural and speak to your Voice remote as you would a friend.
Good to know
Remember that your remote won’t “listen” unless you press the button!
