Try by set it with an other code said to your TV brand. If you wish to get more; check the sites linked here. It has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. One among it has general set-up codes to check with TVs and other devices are given, in the order of the 'device's brand name list' in alphabetical order. Pull up older posts. Search the sites by type in the brand name to your device in its search box at the top right part of the display window. It will help you to find the document easily.

    Good suggestion, but the remote was synched just fine with the first number we tried. Found the problem. We just upgraded from analog service to HD so comcast sent us a new cable box to install. Problem is, I looked at the bill and they should have sent a new set-top box. Instead they sent a uDTA box. The uDTA boxes apparently don't access the guide and on Demand menus. Cable guy is coming tomorrow to bring us the right box.

What is the code for xfinity cable xr2 remote control?

Your XFINITY remote can be paired with XFINITY X1 TV boxes, allowing you to control the TV box even when it is placed out of sight, such as in an entertainment center or in another room (up to 50 feet away). XFINITY remotes can be identified by the model number on the back panel or within the battery compartment of the remote.

Note: Once your remote is successfully paired with a TV box, it will not control any other TV box until paired with the other TV box. XFINITY remotes can only be paired with one TV box at a time.
To Pair an XFINITY Remote Note: These instructions apply to XR2, XR5 and XR11 model remotes only.Make sure the remote batteries are installed and your TV and TV box are powered on.Set the TV input to the input connected to the TV box.Press the Setup button on your remote until the LED at the top changes from red to green.Press the xfinity button on the remote. The LED will begin flashing green. (Note: When pairing an XR2 or XR5 remote to a DTA, you may need to press the xfinity button up to five times).Follow the instructions by entering the three-digit, on-screen pairing code.
Once the on-screen pairing code is correctly entered, your remote is paired with the TV box. Note: If you do not see on-screen pairing instructions after pressing the xfinity button in step four, press the xfinity button again. You may need to press the xfinity button multiple times if there is more than one TV box in range.

Im zoomed in on the xfinity guide! i have the xr2 remote and the x1 cablebox

XR2 doesn't have the ability to zoom in / check your TELEVISION remote. ( one that came orig with tv ) and see if it can be adjusted there. if that fails physically unplug your television to see if the setting will reset to default. if that fails try a different hdmi input. GOOD LUCK!
