The remote should pair successfully out of the box. But sometimes you need to change the batteries, set the Roku to factory settings, or some other issue comes up and it doesn’t work correctly. First, power on the Roku box. Open the battery compartment press the purple button and point it at the Roku device for a few seconds.

Now from the main menu select Roku Player Settings. Next scroll down the menu and select Game Remote Pairing.

If the pairing was successful, you’ll see the Roku Remote information on the following screen.

Now that you have it paired up, you can play Angry Birds – which is included,

And use the controller for other games available for purchase.

Remember, you can use your iPod or iPhone to control your Roku or Android device too.
