Netflix remote control

Hello, I have a Sharp television with a Thomson resiver and I set up Netflix yesterday… My normal remote control for the television can set it to be quiet and loud on Netflix. But my Netflix remote control can somehow only switch, the quiet and loud switch does not work, as does the mute switch. Can I change that somehow?

This is not a Netflix remote control, this is an Amazon Fire TV remote control.

No wonder that it does not fully support Netflix, as it is not intended to do so.

Can be set up anywhere. Check the instructions. But of course it doesn't work with all televisions.

I think you need the remote control of your tv to "learn" the firetv

In the photo, however, the remote control of a Fire TV is shown, as you can't regulate the volume

Ir

That's not true. The Fire TV remote control does not have a volume control

Li

Oh ok 😂

I think you don't really understand that. There's no remote control for Netflix. What you have is a remote control for Fire TV. If you have connected Fire TV, you can select the device via the sources (HDMI connections) and then download the Netflix APP to the Fire TV device. The source is selected using the TV remote control. With Fire TV selected, you'll continue working with the Fire TV remote control.

But if your TV set is already connected to the Internet without Fire TV, whether LAN or WLAN, you no longer need a Fire TV device.

Fire TV is ideal for televisions that are not yet Internet-ready, but have an HDMI connection.

But it doesn't work on YouTube or something, why is it then?

Ir

This statement is wrong

But it doesn't work on YouTube or something, why is it then?

To control the Fire TV Stick and the videos available on Amazon Prime.

With me already… The one shown can do it. There's also a lite version that can't (the plus - minus switch in the picture)

Li

Yes, that's right, but the volume doesn't work with other apps, huh

Ca

But it works… (plus - minus - switch). But you have to have a compatible tv device and somehow "teach it in" with the old tv remote control.

Ir

Thanks for the little hint! , then I have the light version

So you have to control your Fire TV first. The Fire TV APP opens there and there are various options for setting up the Fire TV device. Search there times under settings. You also have to connect the Fire TV to the Wi-Fi, which is also done in this app.
