Remote looks and Kid Mode

Updated . How we check these numbers

Quick answer: Change the remote’s look from the menu at the top right: Silver (the default), Den, Standard, Walnut ’72, Bare, Night, Kid Mode or Arcade. They all control the same TV; each has its own layout and press feel. Kid Mode swaps words for big picture buttons, adds four favorite-show buttons and caps the volume.

The eight looks

Look What it’s like
Silver Brushed hi‑fi faceplate and a turned volume dial
Den The chunky 1980s remote from the couch cushions
Standard A familiar black remote with a number pad
Walnut ’72 Walnut, chrome toggles and a rotary channel dial
Bare A touchpad, a volume slider, nothing else
Night Pure black with dim red keys for dark rooms
Kid Mode Big picture buttons and a volume limit
Arcade A retro handheld: d‑pad, A and B

Kid Mode

Kid Mode is for handing the phone to a child. There are no words, just big shapes: louder and quieter speakers, arrows, a glowing play button, and four show buttons marked with a star, an airplane, a fish and a music note. A grown-up chooses which app each one opens and sets a volume limit, which Couchius enforces on LG and Sony TVs because they report their volume. Holding the padlock for two seconds unlocks the full app.
