1. Orienting the Remote
Hold the remote so the flat buttons face you.
The power button is at the very top edge.
The volume rocker is on the right side edge.
The large round button (OK) near the top middle is your main anchor.
2. Navigating Menus
Use the large circular OK button in the center to select.
Around it are the direction buttons:
Up (above OK)
Down (below OK)
Left (to the left)
Right (to the right)
3. Home and Back
Just below the navigation circle are two small buttons:
Left button = Back (returns one step).
Right button = Home (takes you to the main Roku screen).
Tip: If you ever feel lost, press Home to restart from the main screen.
4. Playback Controls
Below Back and Home are three round buttons in a row:
Left = Rewind
Center = Play/Pause
Right = Fast Forward
These work during shows, movies, or music.
5. Shortcut Buttons
Below playback are four smooth rectangular buttons.
Each one opens a streaming service (e.g., Netflix, Disney+).
Unfortunately, they feel identical—so it may take trial and error or memorization.
6. Volume & Mute
On the right side edge of the remote:
Top long button = Volume Up
Bottom long button = Volume Down
Tiny round button just below = Mute
7. Voice Search (Optional)
The remote has a microphone button (near the middle), hold it and speak commands like “Play Stranger Things” or “Search for comedy movies.”
Summary Trick:
Find the OK button circle first.
Above/below/left/right = navigation.
Just below = Back and Home.
Further below = playback.
Right edge = volume and mute.
