How To Fix SuperBox RC200 Remote Not Pairing In Bluetooth In 2026

Your SuperBox RC200 remote has stopped showing up in the Bluetooth list, so you can’t select it to pair, and range plus voice-search simply won’t work.

The good news is that this is almost never a broken box. The remote usually just dropped out of pairing mode and needs to be manually put back into it with a button combo.

This guide walks you through the fix, which takes under two minutes on the S5, S5 Max, and S6.

SuperBox RC200 pairing fix at a glance

Before you dig in, here are the two button combos that put the RC200 into Bluetooth pairing mode in 2026.

Try the official OK + Return combo first. If the red LED doesn’t flash, fall back to the OK + Home variant.

Combo	Buttons	Hold time	Source
Official	OK + Return	8-12 seconds	SuperBox official store
Common variant	OK + Home	~5-10 seconds	JustAnswer (S5)

The combo can vary slightly by model and remote revision, so it’s worth trying both before assuming the worst.

Why won’t the RC200 show up in Bluetooth?

The RC200 only appears in the Bluetooth scan list while it is actively broadcasting as a pairing target. Once it loses that state, the box has nothing to detect.

This commonly happens after a firmware update, a power outage, or a dead battery that interrupted the link.

• The remote silently dropped its Bluetooth pairing.
• The box still talks to it over infrared, masking the problem.
• A stale or “ghost” pairing is blocking a fresh connection.

None of these mean the remote or box is dead. They just mean the RC200 isn’t in pairing mode right now.

IR vs Bluetooth: what still works

This is the part that confuses most people. Your RC200 can keep working for basic navigation even when Bluetooth pairing has failed.

That’s because the remote uses two separate radios, and only one of them is broken.

Feature	Uses	Status when BT fails
Power, volume, arrows, OK	Infrared (IR)	Still works
Voice search / mic	Bluetooth	Fails
Air-mouse / gyro pointer	Bluetooth	Fails
Extended range, no line-of-sight	Bluetooth	Fails

So if the remote “works but voice and air-mouse don’t,” that’s the classic Bluetooth-not-paired signature, not a flat battery.

Which button combo puts the RC200 in pairing mode?

Pairing mode is triggered by holding two buttons until the remote’s red LED flashes. The flash is your confirmation that it’s now broadcasting.

Start with the official combo first.

1. Point the remote at the box and make sure the box is on.
2. Press and hold OK + Return together.
3. Keep holding for 8-12 seconds until the red LED flashes.
4. Release both buttons. The remote is now in pairing mode.

If after 12 seconds the LED still hasn’t flashed, don’t force it. Move to the variant combo below instead.

Trying the OK + Home variant combo

Some S5-era remotes and revisions respond to a different combo that’s widely reported on support forums. It works the same way but uses the Home button.

1. Press and hold OK + Home together.
2. Hold for roughly 5-10 seconds.
3. Watch for the red LED to flash, then release.

If neither OK + Return nor OK + Home makes the LED flash, the remote isn’t entering pairing mode, which points to a reset or hardware issue covered later.

Whichever combo flashes the LED is the correct one for your specific remote revision.

How do I scan and select the RC200 after the LED flashes?

Once the red LED is flashing, you have a short window to complete the pairing on the box itself. Don’t wait too long.

1. On the box, open Settings > Bluetooth, or on some firmware Settings > Remotes & accessories.
2. Tap Scan or Add device and wait for the list to populate.
3. When RC200 appears, select it.
4. Wait for the status to read Connected and the LED to stop blinking.

If you have to navigate this menu without a working remote, use the IR functions, which still work, or a USB mouse plugged into the box.

What if the RC200 still doesn’t appear?

If the LED flashes but RC200 never shows in the scan list, a stale pairing or a confused Bluetooth stack is usually the culprit. Work through these in order.

• Power-cycle the box. Unplug it for about 2 minutes, then plug it back in and re-scan.
• Forget old devices. In Settings > Bluetooth, remove any previously paired remotes or RC200 entries, then re-pair.
• Move closer. Sit within a few feet of the box during the scan to rule out weak signal.

Clearing a ghost pairing fixes a surprising number of cases, because the box was quietly trying to reconnect to a dead entry.

How do I reset the RC200 remote itself?

If the remote won’t enter pairing mode at all, reset it. This clears any stuck internal state.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote.
2. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to drain residual charge.
3. Reinsert fresh batteries.
4. Run the OK + Return combo again and re-scan.

Note that new batteries alone rarely fix a Bluetooth pairing failure, because the problem is the pairing state, not power. But weak batteries can stop the LED from flashing, so use fresh ones during this reset.

What if the remote is faulty?

If no combo flashes the LED even after a reset, and a known-good RC200 also refuses to pair, you may be looking at a hardware fault. At that point you have two paths.

If only your remote is bad, a replacement RC200 is inexpensive and pairs the same way.

[Buy a replacement RC200 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/FQOUG-RC-200-Control-Replacement-SuperBox/dp/B0GSJKCD8G?tag=tdgbrand-20)

Spot-check that listing before buying, since these third-party RC200 listings go in and out of stock and compatibility is sometimes model-specific.

If a second known-good remote also won’t pair, the box’s own Bluetooth radio is likely the failure. That’s a warranty or replacement situation, and note that some older SuperBox units are discontinued, so support may be limited.

Quick reference

Situation	Action
RC200 missing from Bluetooth list	Hold OK + Return 8-12s until red LED flashes
LED won’t flash on official combo	Try OK + Home for ~5-10s
LED flashes but RC200 not in scan	Power-cycle box ~2 min, forget old devices, re-scan
Remote won’t enter pairing mode	Pull batteries, hold power 10-15s, reinsert, retry
IR works, voice/air-mouse dead	Normal Bluetooth-unpaired signature, re-pair
No remote pairs at all	Box Bluetooth radio likely faulty (warranty/replace)
