To program a DirecTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on before beginning the programming process.
2. Prepare the Remote:
– Find the “TV” button on your DirecTV remote. It’s typically located near the top of the remote.
– Press and hold the “TV” button until the red indicator light stays on, then release the button.
3. Enter the Code Search Mode:
– After releasing the “TV” button, press and hold the “Select” button (located in the center of the remote, near the arrow buttons) until the red light blinks twice and then stays on.
4. Start the Code Search:
– Now, press and release the “TV” button. The red light should blink and then remain on.
– Press and release the “On/Off” button once every 5 seconds. The remote will cycle through different codes to find the correct one for your TV. Keep pressing until your TV turns off. It may take several tries, so be patient.
5. Test the Remote:
– Once the TV turns off, press the “Select” button to store the code. The red indicator will blink and turn off.
– Try turning the TV back on with the remote and test other functions (volume, power, etc.) to ensure the remote is fully synced with the TV.
6. Alternative Method (Using the Code):
– If you have a code list (usually found in the DirecTV manual or online), you can manually enter the code instead of using the search method.
– After pressing and holding the “TV” button until the red light stays on, enter the first code in the list using the number buttons on the remote.
– If the code is correct, the red light will blink and turn off. If it doesn’t work, try the next code.
If you’re unable to get the remote working, you may want to consult the DirecTV website for additional troubleshooting steps or try using the remote’s code search feature.
