To program your DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
Method 1: Auto Search (Best Option)
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure the TV you want to control is powered on.
2. Turn on the DIRECTV receiver: The DIRECTV box should be powered on.
3. Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top of the remote stays on (about 3 seconds).
4. Press and release the “On/Off” button: The green light will blink and then remain on.
5. Press and hold the “Select” button until the green light blinks twice, then release the button.
6. Wait for the remote to automatically search for the correct code: The remote will start sending signals to your TV to find the right code. When the green light blinks twice, that means the remote has found the correct code and is ready to use.
7. Test the remote: Try controlling the volume or power on your TV. If it works, you’ve successfully programmed your remote. If not, repeat the steps or try the next method.
Method 2: Manual Code Entry
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button on the DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top stays on, then release the “TV” button.
3. Enter the TV code: Use the number pad on the remote to enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand. (You can find the code list on the DIRECTV website or in your manual.)
4. Press the “Enter” button to confirm the code. The green light should blink and turn off.
5. Test the remote: Try turning the TV on/off or adjusting the volume. If it works, you’ve successfully programmed your remote.
Method 3: Using the DIRECTV App
If you have the DIRECTV app on your smartphone or tablet, you can also use it to control your TV. Just follow the app’s instructions to link your TV and DIRECTV receiver.
Troubleshooting Tips
– If your remote isn’t working after you’ve tried programming it, double-check the code list and ensure you entered the correct code.
– If the TV still isn’t responding, try resetting the remote by removing the batteries, waiting 10 seconds, and reinserting them.
