||Posted .

Posted .Hi NormaB,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the X85K. Your feedback about the remote is greatly appreciated. The remote is designed with simplified buttons for ease of use and advanced voice control. If you press the "123" button (Control menu) on the remote, it will display a menu on the TV to use button functions that are not on the remote control including number buttons for channels. Some features can be accessed quickly by pressing the Quick Settings (gear icon) button of the remote control. You may find this link helpful:
