To program your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Remote’s Automatic Programming Feature
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Turn on the DIRECTV Receiver (if it’s not already on).
3. Press and hold the “Mute” and “Select” buttons on the DIRECTV remote at the same time, until the green light at the top of the remote flashes twice, then release the buttons.
4. Press and release the “TV” button at the top of the remote. The green light will blink and then remain on.
5. Press and release the “On/Off” button (also called the “Power” button) on the remote. The DIRECTV remote will start searching for your TV’s brand and automatically try to find the right code.
6. The green light will blink and turn off when it finds the correct code. Try adjusting the volume or turning the TV off using the remote to check if it works.
Method 2: Using a Code
If the automatic search method doesn’t work or if you prefer to enter the code manually, you can use the TV brand code:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Turn on the DIRECTV Receiver.
3. Press and hold the “Mute” and “Select” buttons on the DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top flashes twice and then release the buttons.
4. Press and release the “TV” button on the remote. The green light will stay on.
5. Enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand using the remote’s number buttons. The green light will blink and then stay on after the code is entered.
– You can find a list of codes for different TV brands on the DIRECTV website or in the remote’s manual.
6. Press the “Power” button on the remote. If the TV turns off, the code is correct. If not, repeat the process with the next code in the list for your TV brand.
Method 3: Using the DirectTV Remote Setup Menu
1. Press and hold the “Menu” button on your DIRECTV remote for at least 5 seconds until the green light at the top of the remote flashes twice.
2. Navigate to the “Settings & Help” menu on your TV screen.
3. Go to Settings > Remote Control > Program Remote.
4. Select TV and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup.
After completing any of these methods, your DIRECTV remote should be able to control the volume and power of your TV.
