Connect a Fire TV Remote to Your TV’s Volume Control

Before you can use your Fire TV Stick remote to manage your TV’s volume, you’ll have to configure the TV management option, as follows.

From your Fire TV Stick’s home screen, choose the Settings (gear) icon at the top.

In the settings menu that opens, select “Equipment Control.”

Choose “Manage Equipment.”

Select “TV” as you’re configuring your remote for a television.

Choose “Change TV.”

In the prompt, select “Change TV.”

Your Fire TV Stick will try to determine your TV’s make. If the displayed name is correct, select “Yes.” Otherwise, choose “No.”

We’ll go for “No.”

If you choose “No,” you’ll see various TV manufacturers on your screen. Here, pick your TV’s manufacturer.

You’ll now see a message asking you to press the Power button on your Fire TV Stick remote. Press the button and see if your TV turns off.

If it does, then wait for 10 seconds and press the same Power button to turn the TV back on.

Fire TV Stick will now ask if pressing the Power button switched off your TV. If it did, select “Yes.” Otherwise, choose “No.”

In nearly all cases, the TV turns off when you press the Power button. If it doesn’t, you may want to try a different remote or consider upgrading your TV.

We’ll select “Yes.”

Your Fire TV Stick will now start updating your remote so it works with your TV. When this is done, in the open prompt, select “OK.”

You can now control your TV’s volume using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on your Fire TV Stick’s remote. You can also use the remote’s Power button to turn the TV off and back on.
