How do I program an Xfinity remote to control a Vizio TV?
Answer
Most Xfinity remotes learn a Vizio TV with an on-remote code sequence after the TV is turned on manually. Confirm the remote model under the battery cover, enter the pairing code mode, then try common Vizio codes such as 991, 990, 10178, or 11758 until volume or power responds.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Use codes only from official Xfinity remote instructions; random paid code sites are unnecessary and risky.
Follow these steps
Turn the Vizio on manually
Use the power button on the Vizio TV itself so the screen is on before you start remote programming.
You should see: The TV is powered on and visible to the remote.
Confirm the remote model
Open the battery cover and note the model label, such as XR11. Programming button sequences can vary slightly by Xfinity remote model.
You should see: You know which Xfinity remote model you have.
Enter code setup and try 991
Follow the on-remote setup for TV control for your model, then enter code 991 with the number buttons while pointing at the TV. Test power or volume when prompted.
You should see: The TV responds to the remote, or the code fails and you can try the next one.
Try alternate Vizio codes
Repeat the same programming process with alternate Vizio codes one at a time: 990, 10178, or 11758. Test after each code before moving to the next.
You should see: One of the codes controls TV power or volume successfully.
Recheck common TV buttons
After a successful code, test power, volume, and mute. If only some buttons work, retry the next listed code or use the Xfinity remote TV setup instructions for your exact model.
You should see: The Xfinity remote reliably controls the main Vizio TV functions.

Extra tips
What to look for: The remote model under the battery cover such as XR11, whether the TV powers on from the TV button, and which code makes the TV respond.
Before you change anything: Turn the Vizio TV on with the button on the TV itself. Check the remote model printed under the battery cover. Have fresh batteries in the Xfinity remote. Keep the remote pointed at the TV during programming.
