To program a DIRECTV remote to control your TCL TV, follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Remote’s TV Code Lookup
1. Turn on your TCL TV using the power button on the TV itself.
2. On the DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top of the remote until the green LED at the top stays on, then release the “TV” button.
3. Now, press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons at the same time until the green LED flashes and then stays on.
4. Enter the TV code for TCL TVs. To find the code, you can refer to the DIRECTV remote code list. Some common TCL codes are:
– 01156
– 10056
– 10178
5. After entering the code, the green LED should turn off. If it doesn’t, repeat the process with a different code.
6. Test the remote by pressing the “Power” button. If the TV turns off, the remote has been programmed correctly. If not, repeat the steps and try the next code.
Method 2: Automatic Code Search
If you don’t have the TV code or it didn’t work with the first method, you can use the automatic code search function:
1. Turn on your TCL TV.
2. On the DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button until the green LED stays on, then release it.
3. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons simultaneously until the green LED flashes and stays on.
4. Now press and release the “Enter” button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code. The green LED will blink and then turn off once the code has been found.
5. Once the remote finds the right code, it will automatically turn off the green LED.
6. Test the remote by turning the TV off and on, adjusting the volume, or using other functions to make sure everything is working correctly.
If the automatic search doesn’t work, you may need to try the steps again or refer to the remote’s code manual for a more specific TCL code.
Method 3: Using DIRECTV’s Remote Control App (for new models)
If your DIRECTV remote is a newer model that supports the remote control app, you can also try using the app to program your remote to control your TCL TV.
By following these steps, your DIRECTV remote should be successfully programmed to control your TCL TV!
