Nvidia Shield, also known as Shield TV, is an Android-based streaming media player that lets you run entertainment content from various subscription services as well as gaming apps. You can enjoy 4K video with Dolby Vision picture and Dolby Atmos surround sound, creating an immersive experience. There’s a lot more that the Shield TV offers and it’s possible you’re not taking advantage of all the features you paid for.

To help you make the most out of your money, we’ve rounded up the best Nvidia Shield TV tips and tricks to create an optimal cinematic entertainment experience.

Find your lost remote

Forgot where you put the Shield TV remote? Well, you can find it using your TV and smartphone or a mouse. There are two ways to do this, depending on which version of Nvidia Shield you own.

Step 1: The cylindrical Shield TV has a special remote finder button near the HDMI port. Press this and the remote will emit a loud beep so you can locate it.

Step 2: If you have the Nvidia Shield TV Pro, you can find the remote by operating the settings menu using your smartphone or a mouse.

Step 3: Go to Settings.

Step 4: Go to Remote and accessories > Shield Accessories > Shield remote > Find this remote. This will also ring the remote so you can find it.

Although note that both options need the remote to be nearby, well-charged, and connected to the internet. Nvidia Shield can’t find a dead or a far-off remote.

Step 2: Make sure your smartphone and TV are connected to the same network.

Step 3: Connect the smartphone to the TV by entering the six-digit code displayed on your TV screen.

Now you can use the smartphone app as a virtual remote.

Step 1: Go to Settings.

Step 2: Select the AI upscaling option.

Stop the annoying fan noises

Like most devices, the Nvidia Shield comes with a built-in cooling fan to avoid overheating. But sometimes these cooling fans can make a lot of noise. Fortunately, you can quieten this when required.

Step 1: Go to Settings.

Step 2: Go to Device preferences.

Step 3: Select the System option. Then select Fan mode.

Step 4: Now you can see two options in the Fan mode menu: Cool and Quiet. If you select Cool, the fan noise may be high but the TV will remain cool. On the other hand, if you select Quiet, the fan noise will be reduced but your TV cooling may also go down.
