To program a DIRECTV remote to a DIRECTV receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and DIRECTV receiver:
– Make sure your DIRECTV receiver and TV are both powered on.
2. Find the remote’s mode switch:
– On your DIRECTV remote, look for the “MODE” switch at the top. It might say “TV”, “AV1”, or “AV2.” Slide it to “DIRECTV” mode.
3. Press and hold the “Mute” and “Select” buttons:
– Press and hold both the “Mute” button and the “Select” button on the remote at the same time for about 3-5 seconds. When the green light at the top of the remote turns on and stays on, release both buttons.
4. Enter the programming code:
– Enter the 5-digit DIRECTV receiver code. You can find the code in the user manual that came with your remote or on the DIRECTV website. If you don’t have the code, you can try the following method to auto-program:
1. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons again until the green light at the top stays on.
2. Enter “991” (the DIRECTV auto-search code).
3. The green light will blink and then remain on.
4. Press and release the “Channel Up” button repeatedly until the TV turns off. Each time you press the “Channel Up” button, the remote will send a code to the receiver.
5. When the TV turns off, press “Select” to store the code.
5. Test the remote:
– Once programmed, try turning the TV and receiver on or off, adjusting the volume, or changing channels to make sure the remote is working correctly.
If the remote does not work after following these steps, repeat the process and try a different code or method until the programming is successful.
