Sorry I don’t think you can exchange just remotes. Its pot luck for now if you order online. In store you can check the serial number and know the remote type inside.

Is having a backlit remote that important?

I actually H-A-T-E, with a capital H, the remote that came with the Wally Pro. Whew! glad I got that off my chest.

Anyhow, I keep hitting the Down function when I trying to hit the center OK button. When watching a Smarttube video I can’t figure out how to pause other than hitting the OK button to bring up the pause function. The backlight only comes on when you hit a button which is kinda useless.

I had bought an Amazon Alexa Voice remote several months back since I wasn’t a fan of the Shield Pro remote. For the life of me I couldn’t get that remote to work on the Shield so I set it aside. I figure that I would give it a shot on the onn box. Lo and behold this remote turned on the Shield and it works almost perfectly. And it’s back- lit! Go figure, huh?

Sooo, I’m waiting for Mr. TXRon to try out all of his collection of remotes to see what he says.I just don’t want to start buying a bunch of remotes and suffer the wrath of my better half.

Just received my Onn 4K Pro, it came with the backlite remote with the free tv button .
I quickly set this up on my lunch break, now after I get home from work going to customize to my liking, this box is very heavy compared to my Onn 4k one

To be honest the 1st bluetooth remote I tried did all I need…volume, on and off and the back button and arrows…all set

Just got my second Pro today too but with the “Limited Edition” Non Backlit/Non Free Tv Button. Get them now before they are all gone.

For those that do get the basic remote, or for those with the Onn 4k boxes, I still recommend this cover for it.

For those that get the more “economical” version of the remote with their 4k Onn pro, I did get this remote case that fits perfectly. I am a big fan of remote cases that fit well in your hand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C3CFFJPF?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

That was was the Ugoos remote?

TXRon · 2024-05-30T00:39:30.278Z

yep, set it up once and still going good

After setup, installed all my apk with no problem, ATV Launcher Pro no problem so far all is working just great. I had 2 problems with my regular Onn 4K box, screen sizing and RCA TV selection , the remote would not recognize the TV. So on the new Onn 4K Pro, the screen sizing is now ok on the TV but it still does not recognize my TV, so have to use 2 remotes, not a big deal

TXRon · 2024-05-30T13:08:20.167Z

Look in Settings>>>remotes and accesories>>> set up remote buttons, and make sure its all on CEC (volume and power buttons)

gonefishing · 2024-05-30T14:59:21.070Z

TXRon, will try this, Just don’t have mush faith in this because when I selected to setup TV and selected my RCA model, all the 14 models did not power off the unit or the volume.

gonefishing · 2024-05-30T18:32:23.571Z

just home for lunch, turned on the pro box, went to remote and accessories>>>set up remote buttons and made sure both power and volume setting was on CEC, then hit the power button no the remote, the box turned off only, not the TV,

Just watched a quick video review of the onn 4k pro by the Couch Potato Cafe channel on YouTube. He apparently knows someone in Walmarts corporate office and they told him that $50 will not be a permanent price and that it’s eventually going to go up to $70 . Take it for what it’s worth, don’t shoot the messenger

TXRon · 2024-05-31T01:12:52.602Z

Sorry to hear that, don’t know much about rca tv’s other than we had one back in the day

PiratePete · 2024-05-31T02:19:00.458Z

Hell I didn’t even know they were still around

JPM69 · 2024-05-31T04:05:49.603Z

You said you set the Onn Remote to CEC…is your tv set up for CEC? That woud be for multiple devices like a sound bar etc. Right?

You may want to try a different tv remote setting, like IR. Assuming your tv uses IR for its remote.

If you just need your tv and Onn to power on together just use ir for your tv. The remote should already recognize the onn.

At least i think it should.

Otherwise I’d contact Onn about the missing RCA remote setting. Maybe there is a fix.

JPM69, looks like I need to upgrade my 1080p RCA TV, as I went into the setup menu and had no setting to change to CEC. Looks like this is a very old TV. Probable why the remote setup will not work.Thanks for all your help on this issue

JPM69 · 2024-05-31T13:09:17.557Z

Id hold off a new tv just yet if you dont need one.

CEC may not be needed for you. If your tv uses Infrared (IR) for its remote then you just need the correct signal.

Your onn remote already recognizes your onn pro box.

I have an older Sharp 1080 TV that doesnt use CEC. I use my Nvidia and as a back up i have my old Onn 4k (non pro).

Both remotes turn on my tv using IR. The Nvidia and Onn both turn on as well.

My 4k tv is set up with CEC but that is because it turns on my soundbar as well.

gonefishing · 2024-05-31T17:24:37.048Z

Great news, so how do I select (IR) from my Onn Pro remote as it is hooked up on my Onn box I think by Bluetooth, Not sure what to do

JPM69 · 2024-05-31T17:36:22.943Z

In the Onn pro, it is under Settings, Remote and Accessories, then select set up remote buttons.

Go to Set up remote buttons and add you RCA under Add device if you havent yet. Id do it again if you dont think the IR is coded correctly. If your TV powers on/off you should be ok to continue. You should also set up volume too.

Then go to Power button (under remote buttons). You have a list of options: auto cec, tv cec , onn and RCA TV (IR). Chose RCA (IR).

Hopefully that works for you. My Sharp tv is pre “smart” days and it found its IR code.
