The tv’s controller is thin and black. This will turn the Tv on and let you select different media apps. It does not control the volume. It’s better to use the Chromecast remote unless you want to test out true 8k Content which you can find by searching “8K videos” on youtube. It will only show 8k via this controller and it’s dedicated youtube app. For all other content use the chromecast remote. Press CBL on the audio remote to change it.

To cast to the tv use “8k Tv” the Chromecast remote will let you select various media apps like Hulu, Netflix etc.

Press CBL on the Denon Audio remote to change it to this device.

This remote has a lot of buttons but you will only need to use a couple of them.

To change and test out different sound options like Atmos/ Dolby Surround/ Stereo etc there are buttons on the bottom that say “Movie, Game, Music, Pure” Pressing these will cycle through the available audio formats.

CBL = Chromecast

TV Audio = Xbox

Press the X box button on the controller or console to turn it on. Press the “TV AUDIO” button on the Denon Audio Remote.

You can play any games that are already installed, any from Game Pass, or the provided physical games that are on the shelf in the game room.

The Xbox also acts as a 4k Blueray player. I recommend watching Dune or Mad Max Fury Road to really show off the system.

Above the tv you’ll notice a little sensor poking out. That is used to adjust a backlight on the tv. It will change colors depending on what’s on the tv. These will be guest - controllable in a future update with provided control tablets.

The security cameras are displayed on the Tv to the Right. They only watch the streets and driveway and there are no cameras located anywhere else inside or outside the property. We respect your privacy! We can set up additional cameras inside or somewhere in particular if you would like to keep an eye on your belongings, kids, or pets.
