To set up your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Put your DIRECTV remote into TV mode:
– Press and hold the TV button at the top of your DIRECTV remote until the red light at the top of the remote blinks twice, then release the TV button.
– The red light should blink once and then remain on.
3. Enter the TV manufacturer code:
– Find your TV brand’s 4-digit code. You can find a list of TV manufacturer codes on the DIRECTV website or in the manual that came with your remote.
– Once the red light is on, use the number buttons to enter the code for your TV. If the code is correct, the red light will turn off.
4. Test the remote:
– After entering the code, try using the remote to control the power, volume, and mute functions on your TV. If it works, you’re done!
– If the remote doesn’t work with the first code, repeat the process with another code from the list.
5. Automatic code search (if needed):
– If you don’t know your TV’s code, you can use the automatic code search feature:
– Press and hold the TV and Select buttons until the red light blinks twice and stays on.
– Press and release the Play button. The remote will start cycling through codes automatically.
– When the TV turns off, press Stop to save the code.
– Turn the TV back on using the remote and test the functions.
By following these steps, your DIRECTV remote should be successfully set to control your TV.
