How do I pair with my Vizio TV?

“Pairing” with a Vizio TV can refer to a few different things:

Pairing the Vizio SmartCast Mobile App to Your TV: This is the most common “pairing” you’ll do with modern Vizio SmartCast TVs. The SmartCast app turns your smartphone or tablet into a full-featured remote control Visit vizio.com/setup.

Requirements:

• Your Vizio SmartCast TV must be turned ON and connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
• Your smartphone/tablet must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Vizio TV.
• You need to download the “VIZIO SmartCast Mobile” app from your device’s app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).

Steps to Pair the SmartCast App:

Download and open the VIZIO SmartCast Mobile app on your phone/tablet.

The app will usually automatically start searching for nearby Vizio SmartCast devices on your network.

When your TV is found, select your TV from the list of available devices in the app.

Your Vizio TV screen will then display a 4-digit PIN (e.g., “1234”).

Enter this PIN into the VIZIO SmartCast Mobile app on your phone/tablet.

Once the PIN is entered correctly, the app will confirm the connection, and you can now use your phone/tablet as a remote, browse content, adjust settings, and even control certain smart home features.

Troubleshooting App Pairing:

• Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. This is the #1 reason for pairing failure.
• Power cycle both the TV and your phone/tablet: Unplug the TV for a minute, then plug it back in. Restart your phone.
• Force close and reopen the SmartCast app.
• Delete and reinstall the SmartCast app on your phone/tablet.
• Reset your TV’s network settings or even perform a factory reset as a last resort (this will erase all your settings and downloaded apps).
• Make sure your TV’s firmware is up to date.

Pairing a Vizio Voice Remote (if your TV came with one or supports it): Some newer Vizio TVs come with voice-enabled remotes that use Bluetooth for more advanced features. These often pair automatically during initial setup, but if not:

Manually turn on your Vizio TV.

You’ll usually have to press and hold a “TV” or “Code Setup” button on the universal remote until an indicator light comes on.

Test the remote’s functions (Power, Volume, Channel). If it doesn’t work, try another Vizio code from the list.

Pairing Bluetooth Headphones/Audio Devices (on supported Vizio models): Some Vizio SmartCast TVs allow you to pair Bluetooth headphones for private listening.
