  • Setup: Initiates the programming mode for the remote to control TV, audio devices, or for "Aim Anywhere" control.
  • Swap: Switches between two DVR tuners, enabling control over the playback of two different channels simultaneously.

Usage Features:

The XR2 Remote is designed for ease of use and offers several programming and control features:

  • Battery Installation: Requires AA batteries (sold separately). Upon installation, the "All Power" key blinks green four times, indicating the remote is powering up.
  • Preprogrammed for Xfinity Cable Boxes: The remote is preprogrammed to operate Xfinity cable boxes.
  • Programming for Non-Xfinity Cable Boxes: If using a non-Xfinity cable box (e.g., Motorola or Cisco), the remote can be programmed to control it. This involves pressing the "Setup" button until the "All Power" key changes from red to green, then pressing "B" for Motorola or "C" for Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta. To re-program for an Xfinity cable box, repeat the steps and press "A".
  • "Aim Anywhere" Control: This feature allows the remote to control the cable box without needing to be pointed directly at it, even if the box is inside a cabinet or entertainment center. This feature is supported by certain Xfinity cable boxes. To enable "Aim Anywhere" control, press the "Setup" button until the "All Power" key changes from red to green, then press the "XFINITY" button. Users then follow on-screen instructions to enter a 3-digit code.
  • Removing "Aim Anywhere" Control: To remove "Aim Anywhere" control, press and hold the "Setup" button until the status LED changes from red to green, then press "A". If the status LED blinks green twice, "Aim Anywhere" control has been successfully removed.
  • Programming for TV Power and Volume: The remote can be programmed to control the TV's power and volume. This involves finding a 5-digit code for the TV manufacturer from a provided list (or online), pressing and holding the "Setup" button until the status LED changes from red to green, and then entering the 5-digit code. The status LED should blink green twice upon successful programming. Users can then verify by adjusting volume and turning the TV on/off.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual provides troubleshooting tips for programming issues, such as ensuring batteries are installed, the TV is on, and the correct codes are entered. It also suggests trying a second code if the first doesn't work and directs users to xfinity.com/remotes or the My Account app for a complete list of codes or for audio device control.

Important Technical Specifications (Implied):

  • Power Source: AA batteries (not included).
  • Communication Protocol: Infrared (IR) for standard control, and potentially RF (Radio Frequency) for "Aim Anywhere" functionality, allowing control without line-of-sight.
  • FCC Compliance: The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules for Class B digital devices, ensuring reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. Users are cautioned against unauthorized modifications that could void their authority to operate the equipment. The device must accept any interference received.

Maintenance Features:

  • Battery Replacement: Users are instructed to install AA batteries, implying that battery replacement is a standard maintenance task.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to help users resolve common issues, such as programming difficulties or the remote not working, which can be considered a maintenance aid.

The XR2 Remote is a versatile tool designed to centralize control of Xfinity entertainment systems, offering both basic and advanced functionalities for a seamless user experience.
