This article describes how to configure keys on the remote control for your Xfinity Motorola TV Box to control accessibility features. You can set the A, B, C and D buttons on your Xfinity remote control to perform custom actions, including shortcuts to accessibility features. To return to the original functionality of the letter keys, simply press the letter key again.

By default, the A key is Help, the B key is Day-, the C key is Day+ and the D key is Descriptive Video Service (DVS) on/off. You can set these buttons to replay, go to Xfinity On Demand, jump ahead 24 hours in the On-Screen Guide and more.

Note: This functionality is not yet available in all markets and is not available on Xfinity X1. Where available, this functionality works on Motorola TV Boxes.

Program the A, B, C and D Keys
