How to Stop Media Center Remote From Turning on the Xbox

If your Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center PC sit in close proximity, then you may have accidentally turned on your Xbox with your Media Center remote control when you meant to only open the program on your PC. This occurs because, by default, the console is set to react to both your Xbox 360 and Media Center remotes. Modify your console's "System Settings" to get rid of this annoying problem.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Go to "My Xbox" on your console.

   • 2

     Select "System Settings," located to the far right in the "My Xbox" section.

   • 3

     Choose "Console Settings."

   • 4

     Go to "Remote Control."

   • 5

     Choose "Xbox 360 Media Remote." This ensures that your console will only respond to your Xbox's remote rather than your PC's.
