Learning mode
For a separate sound bar or device, the remote will not be able to learn how
to control it over HDMI and will need to be “learnt” separately by the remote.
The Maxi ATV remote control can learn a key function from another ‘source’
remote control.
1. Choose your ‘target key’ on the remote control. It must be one of the following
keys: TV/AUX POWER / TV INPUT / VOL+/ VOL- / MUTE. This key will learn a
function from the source remote control.
2. Press 4and 6for at least three seconds. The TV/AUX POWER key will flash
twice and remain on.
3. Press your target key within 30 seconds:
• if valid, the TV/AUX POWER key will give a confirmation flash and remain on.
• if invalid, or you do not press within 30 seconds, the TV/AUX POWER key will
give a long flash and return to user mode.
4. Hold the Maxi ATV remote control 3 - 6 cm from the source remote control with
the IR windows facing each other, then press your target key on the source
remote control (e.g. if your target key on the Maxi ATV remote control is mute,
press mute on the source remote control).
5. If the IR signal is received correctly, the TV/AUX POWER key will turn o and
the remote control will return to normal mode (note: this can overwrite a
previously learned code).
6. If the IR signal is not received correctly, or is received after 30 seconds, the
Maxi ATV remote control will not store the code from the source remote control:
it will give a long flash and return to user mode.
7. If the Back key is pressed on the remote control while it is waiting for an IR
signal, the TV/AUX POWER key will give a long flash and return to user mode.
(If the target key is pressed, any learned code on it is cleared.)
8. To clear the target key, press 4and 6for at least three seconds. The TV/AUX
POWER key will flash twice and remain on. Then press your <target key> twice.
The TV/AUX POWER key will flash to confirm the target key is cleared.

How to control AccessNexTV using Google Assistant
and your remote
The Google Assistant comes installed on your AccessNexTV set top box so you
can quickly find and play your favourite shows and more. Press the voice button
on your remote to get started.
Using your voice to do a Google search:
1. Press the voice button on your AccessNexTV remote
2. Say what you’re looking for into the microphone on your remote
3. Select what you want to view from the search results
Voice search tips:
1. It is best to say the words as you would type them on a manual search.
For example, say “Storage Wars” instead of “Watch Storage Wars.”
2. Use your voice to spell out short words or acronyms as it may not pick up what
you say correctly, a common issue with one syllable words.
Sample voice commands:
• What’s the weather?
• Popular action films from 2018
• TSN
• Bruce Willis movies
• House Hunters
• Turn up/down volume
• Open YouTube
• Pause
• Skip ahead 90 seconds
• Next episode
• Exit
• Turn on/o TV
Ask the Assistant “What can you do?” to find out more commands like
“Tell me a riddle” and more!
Note: You can also use Google Assistant to control your AccessNexTV through Google
home devices instead of your remote. Simply say “OK Google” before your search to
activate the Assistant.
