To program your DIRECTV STREAM remote, follow these steps to sync it with your TV or other devices:
1. Turn on Your TV
Ensure your TV is powered on. The remote will need to communicate with your TV to be programmed.
2. Insert Batteries into the Remote
If you haven’t already, insert the necessary batteries into your DIRECTV STREAM remote.
3. Activate Pairing Mode on the Remote
– Press and hold the “Menu” button (the one with three horizontal lines) and the “Enter” button at the same time for about 5 seconds. This will activate pairing mode.
– The remote’s LED will blink green twice, then stay solid green.
4. Select the TV Brand
– You will now need to program the remote for your TV brand. This can usually be done by entering a code or letting the remote search automatically.
Option 1: Using Automatic Code Search
– Press and hold the “TV” button (top left button) until the green LED blinks twice, then release the button.
– Press and hold the “Mute” and “Select” buttons at the same time until the LED blinks twice, then release them.
– The remote will now search for the correct code by cycling through different frequencies to find one that works with your TV. This process may take a few minutes.
Option 2: Using Manual Code Entry
– If the automatic search doesn’t work, you can try entering the code for your TV brand.
– You’ll find a list of codes in the DIRECTV remote manual or online at DIRECTV’s support page.
– After entering the code, press the “Enter” button to confirm.
5. Test the Remote
After the programming is complete, test the remote by adjusting the volume, changing channels, or turning the TV on and off to ensure the remote works with your TV.
6. Program Other Devices (Optional)
If you wish to control other devices like soundbars, DVD players, or A/V receivers, you can repeat the process for those devices. Make sure to select the correct device button on the remote (such as “AV1” or “AV2”) before beginning the programming.
If you encounter any issues, you can try resetting the remote or refer to the user manual for troubleshooting steps.
