To program a Vizio universal remote:

  1. Press and hold the device button (e.g., TV) until the LED flashes twice and stays lit.
  2. Enter your device’s setup code. LED blinks twice if accepted; otherwise, try the next code.
  3. Press the Power button. If the device turns off, you’re done.

Most Vizio remotes are pre-programmed for Vizio TVs (in TV mode) and Blu-ray players (in DVD mode). To pair them with any other supported device, follow the step-by-step instructions below:

Note: The following programming methods apply to newer XRU110 and XRU300 models.

  2. Press the TV (or device) button and hold for 5 seconds until the LED flashes twice. The LED will remain lit.press the device button vizio universal remote
  3. Enter the programming code (that you found from the code finder) using the number buttons. The LED flashes once after entering each digit. If the code is accepted, the LED flashes twice after the last digit and then turns off. The LED will blink long and turn off if the code is invalid. If this is the case, repeat steps 2 and 3 with the next code for your device.enter the programming code vizio universal remote
