To program your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Turn on your DIRECTV Receiver: Ensure your DIRECTV receiver is also powered on.
3. Find the code for your TV brand:
– You can look up the specific code for your TV model in the DIRECTV remote control manual or on the DIRECTV website. Codes are typically organized by brand (e.g., Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.).
– Alternatively, if you don’t have a code handy, you can try the automatic code search method below.
4. Put the remote in TV mode:
– Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top of the remote turns on. Release the “TV” button.
– The green light will blink and remain on.
5. Enter the code for your TV:
– Using the number pad on your remote, enter the 3 or 4-digit code for your TV brand.
– After entering the code, the green light will turn off if the code was successfully entered. If it blinks and stays on, it means the code was incorrect. Try entering a different code.
6. Test the remote:
– Point the remote at the TV and press the “Power” button. If the TV turns off, the code was successfully programmed. If not, repeat the process using a different code.
Alternative: Automatic Code Search Method
If you don’t have the code, you can use the automatic code search method:
1. Put the remote in TV mode by pressing and holding the “TV” button until the green light stays on, then release the button.
2. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons at the same time until the green light blinks twice and then stays on.
3. Press and release the “Play” button on the remote. The remote will begin cycling through the codes for your TV. Each time the remote tries a new code, it will send a signal to the TV.
4. When your TV turns off, press the “Enter” button to store the code.
Your DIRECTV remote should now be programmed to control your TV.
