Xfinity xr15 remote will not pair with TCL Fire TV MODEL 75Q691F

I have been trying to pair my new TCL Fire tv with the xfinity xr15 remote. I van get voice controls, channel up/down and guide to work but can’t get volume and power to work. Have done a full reset to remote, actually got a new remote from xfinity and I can’t find a code that will work. Any help out there would be appreciated

I was experiencing the same thing and came across this thread while trying to pair. I finally found the solution, which was to pair as Amazon-Fire TV, rather than TCL or using TCL codes. 

Pairing Steps for TCL 75Q691F /w Xfinity remote:

  • Navigate to the remote pairing menu
    • [Voice Input]: "Remote pairing"
      - OR -
    • [Manual Navigation]:
      • Press Xfinity Button
      • Select settings/gear icon
      • Select Remote Settings
      • Select Voice remote pairing
  • Select Yes, when asked to use remote to control TV power and volume
  • Search/navigate and Amazon-Fire TV
    • This was what hung me up
  • Select OK when Ready to pair
  • Verify volume works with remote
  • Select It works!

Hope this helps!

After spending an hour with Xfinity tech, after the pairing menu prompt I used "Amazon-Fire TV" instead of "TCL" and it worked.  Thank you!

@X-Rocky​ after much frustration I found this post.  It worked for me too. Thanks to you for posting this. Don't know why Xfinity doesn't make any suggestions like this.

Thanks a million. That worked for me too. I would never have thought to try Amazon-Fire TV instead of TCL. Happy camper now.
