Abstract
In embodiments, apparatuses, methods and storage media are described that are associated with remote control of media devices. In embodiments, a remote control and a content player may be configured to facilitate a secured pairing process. The remote control may be configured to send non-secured signals (such as through an IR transmitter) as well as send and receive secured signals (such as via Bluetooth™ using an RF transceiver). The remote control, in response to being turned on or asked to pair, may send a pairing request to the player that includes an identifier for the remote control and which identifies the remote control as an eligible pairing device without requiring separate entry of a security code by a user. The remote control and player may then perform a pairing process without requiring additional action on the part of a user. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
