Changing the input on an Onn TV is mandatory to access the external device connected to it. The Onn TV input can be easily switched using the master remote in 2-3 clicks. However, the Onn TV input can also be switched in the absence of the original physical remote. This article will walk you through the possible ways to change the input on your Onn TV without a remote.
How to Change Onn TV Input Without a Remote
Method 1: The most known and quickest way to switch the input is through the Onn TV’s physical buttons.
- Press the Power button on the Onn TV’s panel to turn on the device.
- Look for the Channel and Volume buttons on the TV Panel. Use those buttons to navigate to the Input settings on your Onn Roku TV and change the input.
Method 2: If your Onn TV runs on Roku OS, use the official remote app, “The Roku App” to control the TV without a remote. To do it, refer to the steps below.
- Initially, connect your smartphone and Onn Roku TV to the same WiFi.
- Launch the Roku App on the smartphone. If you don’t have it, get it from the Play Store or App Store.
- Complete the remote app setup process.
- Following it, click the Devices tab.
- Now, select your Onn Roku TV from the list and connect.
- Then, click the Remote icon to get the virtual remote interface.
- Use the available icons on the virtual remote interface to get into the TV settings and change the input.
Method 3: A wireless mouse or keyboard can help you to change the input on the Onn TV. Initially, connect the dongle of the mouse or keyboard to your Onn TV’s USB port. Once connected, you can see a pointer or icon. Use the connected mouse or keyboard to open TV settings. Scroll and click the Input settings. Now, locate the desired input and select it.
Method 4: As the Onn Roku TV is compatible with voice assistants, the TV input can be switched in seconds with a single-line voice command. However, you must have set up the Roku voice assistant on your Onn TV before. If done earlier, then say, “Change Onn TV Input to HDMI (required).” The input will be changed immediately.
Bottom Line
If you are comfortable using only the physical remote, we recommend you purchase theĀ Universal Remote, as it is way cheaper than the original remote. Controlling the Onn TV and changing input is quite simple with a universal remote. After programming the universal remote with your TV, use the remote buttons to head to the Input section and change the input.
