How to Program Your Comcast Remote for a Vizio TV

If you’re a Comcast Xfinity customer, you can simplify your home entertainment system by programming your Comcast remote to control your Vizio TV. This eliminates the need to switch between remotes for basic functions like power and volume. This guide provides the most up-to-date codes and clear, step-by-step instructions for a successful pairing.

Step 1: Locate the Right Vizio Code for Your Comcast Remote

Most modern Comcast remotes, including the popular Xfinity Voice Remote (XR11 and XR15 models), use 5-digit codes. We have compiled a list of the most common codes for Vizio TVs below. If the first one you try doesn’t work, simply move down the list.

Comcast Remote TypeVizio TV Codes (Try in Order)
All Models (XR2, XR5, XR11, XR15)11758, 11756, 12707, 10864, 10885, 12512, 10178

It’s a good practice to start with fresh batteries to ensure the remote sends a strong signal during programming. If your remote seems unresponsive at any point, it may be due to a simple glitch that can be solved with a quick reset. Our guide on [how to reset a Vizio remote](link to Post 4) can be helpful, as the principles are similar for many remotes.

Step 2: How to Program the Code into Your Comcast Remote

Comcast has made the programming process for Vizio TVs very straightforward.

  1. Turn on your Vizio TV.
  2. Press and hold the SETUP button on your Comcast remote until the LED light at the top changes from red to green.
  3. Enter the first 5-digit Vizio TV code from the list above.
  4. The LED light should flash green twice. This indicates the code was entered correctly.
  5. Aim the remote at your TV and try the POWER and VOLUME buttons.

If your TV responds, you’re all set! If not, repeat the process with the next code on the list.

What If My Comcast Remote Still Doesn’t Work?

If you have a newer Xfinity X1 box, the easiest way to program your remote is often through your TV. Press the A button on your remote, select “Remote Setup” from the on-screen menu, and the TV will guide you through the process step-by-step.

For those with other cable providers, the setup process is quite similar. For instance, our guide to programming a Charter Spectrum remote for Vizio follows almost the exact same steps.
