    Where are the Media Remote Settings on the Xbox?


    In the past I'm 90% sure there were settings for controlling whether or not the Xbox One would listen to the signals from media remotes. I can't seem to find this setting any more.

    Problem is, I have two Xbox Ones in the same room and hitting the Guide button on the media remote sends both an 'open guide' and a 'turn on Xbox' signal. So if one of consoles is on and I want to bring up the guide, and the other is off and I have no intention
    of using it, hitting the Guide button on the remote will turn on the second Xbox.

    I swear there was a setting for disabling remotes in the past (and was curious why people would want it), but it appears to be gone (and without the ability to search settings I can't be sure if it is truly missing or not).

    Thanks

    Joe

    Xbox 360 media remote (new)

    It's because there's no sync button on the new remote, you just have to enable it in the settings. Try doing these steps:

    Turn on the XBOX 360 Slim.

    Go To MY XBOX

    Go To SYSTEM SETTINGS (very last tile)

    Go To CONSOLE SETTINGS

    Go To CONTROLLER SETTINGS

    Click BOTH REMOTES: Enable SELECT BOTH REMOTES TO ENABLE THE XBOX 360 MEDIA REMOTE AND THE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER REMOTE.

    It should work. Where are the Media Remote Settings on the Xbox? :)

    new media remote not working

    I've had the Media Remote for a few years now, so I had to think back, but I had the same issue when I first bought mine! Back in those days, the choices in the system settings were either "Xbox 360 Media Remote" or "Windows Media Center Remote" and for
    Gord only knows what reason, MS defaulted that setting to "Windows Media Center Remote"! As soon as I changed it to the "Xbox 360 Media Remote" setting, it worked! Still not sure why MS insists on defaulting it to the WRONG setting, though. That's always
    struck me as odd and illogical. :-/

    Having trouble getting the new Xbox 360 Media Remote to work with my Xbox 360 console.

    Update to my last post:

    If you have the current version of the Xbox 360 Dashboard, follow this command path -- System Settings > Console Settings > Remote Control

    You will see 2 options listed: "Both Remotes" (allows you to use either the Xbox 360 Media Remote or a Windows Media Center Remote) and "Xbox 360 Media Remote" (sets the system to accept input from only an Official Xbox 360 Media Remote, or an Officially Licensed
    3rd party equivalent.) Make sure your system is set to "Xbox 360 Media Remote" then exit out of the System Settings menus and try the remote again.

    I hope that helps. :)
