To program a DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Ensure your TV is powered on and set to the correct input (e.g., HDMI).
2. Locate the DIRECTV remote: Use the remote that came with your DIRECTV service.
3. Press and hold the “TV” button: On the top of your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button until the red indicator light stays on, then release the button. The red light will remain on.
4. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons simultaneously: Hold both buttons down at the same time for about 3 seconds. The red light will blink and then remain on.
5. Enter the TV code: You will need a code for your TV brand. You can find this code in the DIRECTV remote’s user manual or on the DIRECTV website. If you don’t have the code, you can try searching for it manually:
– Press and release the “TV” button.
– Enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand using the number pad on the remote. The red indicator will blink and then stay on after the code is entered correctly.
6. Test the remote: After entering the code, try controlling the TV’s volume or power. If it works, the setup is complete.
7. Code search (if necessary): If the remote does not work with the first code, you can use the “Code Search” function:
– Press and hold the “TV” button until the red indicator stays on, then release the button.
– Press and release the “Mute” button, then press and release the “Select” button.
– The remote will start searching for the correct code, and the red indicator will blink off and on during the search. Once the correct code is found, the remote will automatically turn off the red indicator.
8. Complete setup: Once the remote successfully controls your TV, you’re done. If it doesn’t work, repeat the process with a different code.
If you have any problems, consult the DIRECTV support website for troubleshooting tips or a complete list of TV codes.
