To set your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV using the power button on the TV or the remote.
2. Turn on your DIRECTV receiver if it’s not already on.
3. Find the remote control code for your TV brand:
– You can find a list of TV codes for different brands in the DIRECTV remote control manual, or use the on-screen setup guide.
4. Enter TV Code on the Remote:
– Press and hold the Mute and Select buttons simultaneously on the DIRECTV remote. Hold them down until the green light at the top of the remote turns on and stays on.
– Release both buttons.
– Enter the 5-digit TV code (found in the remote manual or on the on-screen guide). After entering the code, the green light at the top of the remote will blink and then turn off.
5. Test the Remote: Point the remote at your TV and press the Power button. If the TV turns off, you’ve successfully programmed the remote. If not, repeat the process with a different code from the list.
6. Adjust Volume and Other Settings: You can now use the volume, power, and other TV functions with your DIRECTV remote.
If the above method doesn’t work, you can use the “Auto Search” method to find the correct code automatically. This method can be found in the DIRECTV remote’s instruction manual.
