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.
