To program your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and the DIRECTV receiver.
2. Find the TV code:
– Look for the code that corresponds to your TV brand. You can find these codes in the DIRECTV remote’s manual or online on the DIRECTV support page. Each TV brand will have a set of codes.
3. Program the remote:
– Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the LED at the top of the remote blinks twice, then release the button.
– Press and release the “Mute” and “Select” buttons at the same time. The LED will blink once and then remain on.
4. Enter the TV code:
– Using the number buttons on your remote, enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand. After entering the code, the LED should blink off and then turn back on.
5. Test the remote:
– Point the remote at your TV and try turning the TV on and off using the remote’s Power button.
– Also, test the volume and mute buttons. If everything works, you’re done!
6. If the code doesn’t work:
– If the TV doesn’t respond, repeat the process using a different code for your TV brand. You may need to try multiple codes from the list.
7. Alternative method (Auto Code Search):
– If you don’t have the TV code, you can use the Auto Search feature:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the TV button and the “Select” button until the LED blinks twice, then release the buttons.
3. Press and release the “Play” button. The remote will start cycling through codes.
4. When your TV turns off, press the “Select” button to lock in the code.
Once you’ve successfully programmed the remote, it should control both your DIRECTV receiver and your TV!
