Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Your VIZIO All M-Series TV Experience with the New XRT510 Replacement Remote Control by Chris Doe

Revainrating 2 out of 5

IR function works but will not pair wirelessly with Vizio TV

Although this remote looks the same as the original Vizio XRT510 remote that I need to replace, this remote will not pair with the TV. It works as a simple IR remote but does not connect wirelessly to my 55" Vizio TV (M501D-A2R) which limits its functionality. If I wanted a basic IR remote I would go for a much cheaper universal remote but I need all the features so I bought this one. etc. etc. (The only thing I didn't try was trying to plug in the remote while standing upside down!) But unfortunately I couldn't get the TV to see/feel the remote on the screen , although my old remote won't pair wirelessly with the TV either (so I'll have to replace it), at least it says it's "ready to pair" when I hold both the record button and the green line button . But even if I "record and green" on the new remote for twice the time I get nothing. So I'm returning this remote control. By the way, I noticed that on my old remote k the keyboard light comes on when I press the button, but on this new remote the indicator doesn't light up until I release the button. Also, my old original remote has stickers with the model number and firmware information. There is nothing in this new remote that makes me doubt its authenticity as a "genuine Vizio remote".

Pros
  • Rugged build
Cons
  • Nothing here
