If you are not able to pair or sync on first try, your previous bluetooth remote may still be “paired” with the box, some boxes only allowed one bluetooth device to be paired at any one time.

It is very likely that you had lost your previous bluetooth remote, or the unit not working anymore.

If that’s the case, you may need to download the “MiTV Assistant” (投屏神器) to log in and remove the previous bluetooth, and to pair with the new bluetooth remote

after installing, you need to connect your existing box through the app, then select the box, and you should see the following “virtual remote control”, use this virtual remote control to navigate your TV Box, go to settings, bluetooth, and remove your existing remote control

What is Patchwall?

All Xiaomi’s TV Boxes, TVs, Soundbar and the Mi Home Theatre System are all running on a special of MIUI TV version of OS, with the recent MIUI TV OS upgrades since October 2016, all interfaces had all been replaced and powered by Xiaomi`s exclusive AI-based PatchWall interface. These are some of the very first smart TV gizmos to come with AI support.

What happen to the Language Interface?

Previously, if you have access to the original Android “Settings” utilities App, you can actually change the Language interface from the default “Chinese” shipped from factory, to English and a few selected languages under Android.

There language interface for the MIUI will instantly be changed, say, From Chinese to fully in English, baring, some isolated places where Xiaomi’s team had missed out on the translation and remained in Chinese.

As for the Apps, if they are design to be multi-lingual, they will also be automatically be displayed in the language set the the Android’s language settings.

However, with the introduction of MIUI TV’s Patchwall, all language interface will remain in Chinese only, as Xiaomi did not provide the English counterpart translation in Patchwall’s interface.

You can still change some of the generic Android utilities’ language setting using this special tool, download the APK and install from a USB drive, run it and change the language setting, but as we had explained earlier, those Apps that have multiple language designed will have English interface displayed.
