There is no pairing with an IR200... It is an IR remote, not BT. Just point and use (assuming the U5 has an IR receiver).

Unless you are referring to an the BT200.

if there's no pairing how does it control power and volume for tv?

That;s not pairing.  That's just an IR learning function.  You basically put it in learning mode, select the key you want to program and point your existing remote to it (IR to IR) and it will learn the code to be able to play it back.

When I first did the learning on mine, I swapped the VOL+ and VOL- buttons during the learning feature, since I naturally thoguht VOL- would be on the left, and VOL+ on the right.  But you can honestly program them to ANY key you want.   I programmed the "source" key to be my TVs SLEEP button   I never use the source key, since the STB is all I have on the TV, and the sleep button is handy since it is in my bedroom, and it turns TV off after a preset amount of time.

I've always called it pairing but learning sounds better

that's why I asked originally tv or box because IR dosen't stand for bluetooth

oh and I found a 3rd way to pair a bt400 but that's for another thread...lol
