PDP Gaming Media Remote for xbox

kyle krueger · Jul 10, 2022

The remote will not allow me to enter my Xbox password. #1 is up on the dPad, #2 is left on the dPad, #3 is down on the dpad, #4 is right on the Dpad, #5 is rewind or LT, #6 is RT or Play/Pause, #7 is LB or Fast forward, #8 is RB or |< and #9 is Y or Stop, #0 is X or >|. The PDP Gaming remote for xbox does every number but number 8. There is no button on the remote that enters 8 or RB or |<. Is there a fix or workaround for this? or do I need to return it and get another type of remote?

Having the same problem. Both the original Microsoft Xbox Media Remote and the new PDP remote. The xbox buttons will turn the console on, but are otherwise unresponsive.

Hope you're doing great today Kyle

I have the same controller as you

It seems is not possible to enter #8 with this controller, I also have one, and as you. Is not compatible.

You may need to return it if you want to use passkey feature with the remote

If you have further questions, feel free to ask

Need help connecting PDP media remote. Tried everything from PDP’s website and my tv’s website but nothing ia working. Please help

Are you trying to use the remote to directly control the TV? It is my understanding that the remote only directly connects to the Xbox which could then be able to control the TV. Without an Xbox, can this remote be used at all?

Not sure what it is possible when you using a BT connection.

maybe this device can help

It sounds like the PDP gaming media remote may not be fully compatible with the Xbox Series X console when it comes to HDMI-CEC function. One solution may be to try pairing the remote directly to the television, rather than the console, to see if that resolves the issue. Another option would be to check if the remote has any firmware updates available and ensure that it's running the latest version. If none of these solutions work, it's likely that the PDP gaming media remote is not designed to perform the HDMI switch function with the Xbox Series X. In this case, you may need to use an Xbox gaming remote that is specifically designed to work with the console.
