Pairing the remote control
Either Bluetooth® wireless technology or the infrared communication function can be used for the transmissions between the TV and the remote control. Since voice controls (p. 11) use Bluetooth® wireless technology, the remote control needs to be registered (paired) with the TV. When using the remote control for the first time after
purchase, when you press any button while pointing the remote control at the remote control signal receiver with batteries inserted, the remote control is automatically registered (paired). When registering, face the remote control at the remote control signal receiver on the TV, within about 50 cm. Registration may not be completed correctly if the batteries in the remote control are running low. Registering a remote control Select [Add New Remote] with the following procedure and follow the on-screen guidance:

[ ] (on the screen) > [Remotes & Bluetooth Devices] > [Voice Remotes with Alexa] > [Add New Remote] If you have problems in pairing the Bluetooth remote control, you need to reset it and try again. 1 Press and hold the buttons shown below
simultaneously for about 12 seconds.
2 Release the buttons and wait 5 seconds. 3 Remove the batteries and insert them back.

If the remote control is registered (paired) with the TV, they communicate via Bluetooth®. You will not need to face the remote control at the TV’s remote control signal receiver when Bluetooth® communication is used.
