The RC-200 is the official voice remote included with all SuperBox S7 models. It includes Bluetooth voice control, dedicated media shortcuts, and IR learning so you can control your TV power and volume without a second remote.
This guide uses official button layouts and programming steps directly from SuperBox documentation. We cover every button, how to program TV control, working voice commands, pairing, battery life, and fixes for every common issue.
If you need a spare or replacement, we stock official RC-200 remotes here. For general device troubleshooting, see our complete SuperBox problem solving guide.

Advanced Tips & Hidden Features
Tip #1: Mouse Cursor Mode
Press the Cursor/IR button to activate an on-screen mouse cursor. This is extremely useful for sideloaded apps that aren't designed for remote navigation. Press Cursor/IR again to turn it off.
Tip #2: Quick Settings
Press the Settings (X) button to jump directly to system settings without navigating through menus.
Tip #3: Last Channel
Press the Last button to instantly jump back to the previous channel or app. This is one of the most useful buttons for flipping between content.
Tip #4: Playback Information
Press the (i) button during playback to see resolution, bitrate, audio format, and other technical information.
Tip #5: Bluetooth Range
You don't need to point the remote at the box. Bluetooth works up to 30 feet away, even through walls. IR only activates for the learned TV buttons.
Tip #6: Long Press Shortcuts
- Long press HOME: Open recent apps
- Long press Menu: Open accessibility settings
- Long press Cursor/IR: Toggle between IR and Bluetooth modes
Battery Information
The RC-200 uses 2 standard AAA batteries (not included).
Expected Battery Life
- Normal use (5-10 voice searches per day): 2-3 months
- Heavy voice use: 1-2 months
- Lithium AAA batteries: 3-6 months
Low Battery Indicator
You will see an on-screen notification when batteries drop below 20%. Replace them promptly — low batteries cause intermittent connection issues, unresponsive buttons, and poor voice recognition.

- Check that batteries are not low
- Make sure you are holding the microphone button while speaking
- Check the microphone hole is not blocked by dust or a cover
- Restart the SuperBox

Remote Intermittently Disconnects
- Replace batteries (this fixes 90% of connection issues)
- Move the SuperBox away from metal enclosures or other electronics
- Keep WiFi routers and microwaves at least 3 feet from the box

Compatibility
The RC-200 remote is fully compatible with:
- All SuperBox S7 models (Pro, Max, Ultra)
- All SuperBox S6 models

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pair two remotes to one box?
Yes. You can pair multiple RC-200 remotes to the same SuperBox.
Does the remote have a backlight?
The standard RC-200 does not have a backlight. Only the remote included with the S7 Ultra has backlit keys.
How do I know if the remote is in Bluetooth or IR mode?
Press the Cursor/IR button. The red light will blink once for Bluetooth, twice for IR mode.
Can I reset all programmed TV buttons?
Yes. Hold the power button in the white section for 10 seconds until the light flashes rapidly. All learned codes will be erased.
Do I need to reprogram TV buttons after changing batteries?
No. Learned codes are saved permanently and will not be lost when you change batteries.
Final Notes
The RC-200 is significantly more capable than most streaming remotes. The IR learning function eliminates the need for a separate TV remote, mouse cursor mode makes sideloaded apps usable, and the dedicated shortcuts save dozens of clicks per day.
