To set up your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Find the TV remote code: You will need to know your TV brand’s code. You can find the code list on the DIRECTV website or in the manual that came with your remote.
3. Program the DIRECTV remote:
– Press and hold the SELECT and MUTE buttons on your DIRECTV remote simultaneously until the green light at the top of the remote turns on.
– Release both buttons. The green light will stay on.
– Press and release the TV button (the green light will blink and then stay on).
– Using the number keys on the remote, enter the first 4-digit code for your TV brand from the code list. The green light will blink and then stay on.
– If the code is correct, the TV should respond, and the green light will turn off.
– If the code doesn’t work, repeat the process with the next code on the list.
4. Test the remote: After programming, test the remote to make sure it controls the power, volume, and mute functions of your TV. If any function isn’t working, repeat the steps and try the next code.
If you’re having trouble, there’s an automatic method to search for the code:
1. Press and hold the TV button on the remote.
2. While holding the TV button, press and release the ON/OFF button. The green light will blink and then stay on.
3. Press and release the Up Arrow button repeatedly until your TV turns off (this could take several minutes, so be patient).
4. Once the TV turns off, press SELECT to save the code.
That should pair your DIRECTV remote with your TV!
