A:Answer At TCL, we are committed to delivering premium products with world-class customer experience. We would like to share that recent software updates have allowed us to make significant improvements on the stability and responsiveness of the TCL televisions featuring Google TV. The remote is both IR and Bluetooth (BT). The remote will function as an IR remote until Google assistant is connected (BT), after the remote is connected through BT, then only the power button will function as IR, the rest of the buttons will work on BT. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
